Key Dates & Deadlines
Hotel bookingMelbourne CBD hotels book out 4–6 months before race weekend. Book accommodation as soon as your ticket is confirmed.
Myki cardRequired for Melbourne trams — the main transport to Albert Park. Buy and top up at 7-Eleven, train stations, or online. Do this before race weekend.
Bag checkAlbert Park enforces bag size limits. A compact daypack (≈40×30×20cm) is fine. A standard 25L hiking backpack is often turned away. Measure your bag before you travel.
Transport planNo car parking at Albert Park. Decide: tram (load Myki card), walk (3.5km flat route from CBD), or rideshare drop-off (book address in advance). Decide before race morning.
SunscreenMelbourne March UV is extreme even on cloudy days. Pack SPF 50+ and plan to apply before leaving the hotel each day.
