Races/Australia
Training plan for the SriLankan Airlines Melbourne Marathon Festival 10km
Saturday, 10 October 2026 in Melbourne, Australia. That is this week.
When a build would have to start
ALLUNGO plans a block of a length that suits the distance, then works backwards from race day. For this one:
10K — a 10-week build, 4 runs a week
Not enough room left for the full build.
Too close? The next one
The organiser runs this the second Saturday in October, which puts the 2027 race on Saturday, 9 October 2027. That date is not announced yet, so check it before planning to it — but a 10K build for it would start the week of 26 July 2027.
On the day
One distance: 10K. Entries, course and timings are melbournemarathon.com.au’s. They decide when entries open and close, and whether the race runs at all — ALLUNGO sells nothing here and takes nothing from them.
The date here is the one the organiser published, rechecked every 1 hour against the list. Confirm it on their site before you enter.
