Travelling to Melbourne for a marathon, fun run, charity walk or major running event? Urban Camp offers affordable group accommodation for running clubs, charity teams, school groups and community organisations participating in events across Melbourne.

Whether your group is attending the Nike Melbourne Marathon Festival, Run Melbourne, the Mother’s Day Classic or another city event, Urban Camp provides a practical base where participants and supporters can stay together.

Located in Parkville beside beautiful Royal Park, Urban Camp provides convenient access to Melbourne’s CBD, the MCG precinct and the city’s public transport network. It is a practical base for groups participating in marathon, half marathon, 10km, 5km or other running events.

Our dorm-style accommodation is designed specifically for groups travelling together, with capacity for up to 138 guests. Participants, coaches and supporters can stay in one location, with catered meal options, recreation spaces and plenty of room to rest and prepare before race day.

Whether you’re organising travel for a regional running club, interstate team, charity group or community organisation, Urban Camp makes managing the weekend easier. Your group can stay together, travel into central Melbourne by public transport and return to a comfortable base after the event.

With over 40 years of experience hosting school, sporting and community groups, Urban Camp understands the logistics involved in coordinating group travel. Whether your group is tackling a full marathon, taking part in a shorter distance or supporting runners from the side lines, Urban Camp provides a practical and affordable base for your group.
