Run Prix is a road running competition held at Melbourne's Albert Park Grand Prix circuit.
The conditions repeatedly stated in the official introduction are course that the road is fast, flat, and smooth.
The same circuit is run a different number of times for each event, with half marathon being four laps, 10km being about two laps, and 5km being one lap.
Since it is a race where the shape of the road repeats, the circuit around the lake itself becomes the stage for the race.
The 10km race is divided into a free race run by participants who meet the recording standards and a general open race.
The free division focuses on being able to run with fast participants while course is empty.
Even if you run the same distance, the participation methods in the competitive and open categories are different.
Half marathon and regular 10km and 5km do not require free race record qualifications,
and for the two short events, participation including walking is also encouraged.
Course is introduced as having been measured and certified in accordance with AIMS standards.
The explanation that it is a flat road with no sharp hairpin curves also appears in the wheelchair participation information.
In the free division, the top male and female athletes compete for prize money, and separate awards are provided for the half marathon and 5km.
Competitions by distance and category continue within the same event.
The nature of Run Free is to combine fast 10km competitions with open distance events while utilizing the smooth roads of a motor racing circuit for running.
