2025 Frankston Gift

At an exciting new venue, Belvedere Reserve, the Frankston Gift is an annual professional running event that originated in the 1800s and attracts competitors from all corners of Victoria and beyond. In 2026 the Gift will return to Frankston Football Oval, overlooking the foreshore.

Not unlike the prominent Stawell Gift, Frankston’s event sees collaboration with a number of local businesses for the staging of a running event that can be won by anyone!

Professional running sees competitors given a mark, or handicap, based on their ability. With an equal opportunity to triumph in their chosen event, the best person on the day wins.
