The Promoter is MoleMap Australia Pty Ltd (the “Promoter”). Race entries are provided by the HOKA Runaway Sydney Half Marathon, operated by The IronMan Group.
1. The Prize
There are 5 (five) prizes to be won, one (1) per winner. Each prize consists of one (1) general entry to the HOKA Runaway Sydney Half Marathon (Half Marathon distance) taking place on Sunday 3 May 2026 in Sydney, NSW.
Total prize pool valued at AUD $960 (5 x AUD $192 per entry, inclusive of GST and processing fees, based on entry pricing at the time of the competition).
The prize covers the race entry only. Travel, accommodation, transport to and from the event, race-day expenses, and any other associated costs are not included and are the responsibility of the winner.
The prize is not transferable, exchangeable, or redeemable for cash. The Promoter reserves the right to substitute the prize with one of equal or greater value if the original prize becomes unavailable due to circumstances beyond the Promoter’s control.
2. Eligibility
Entry is open to anyone aged 18 years or over at the time of entry. Entrants must hold an active Instagram account and be able to receive a direct message via Instagram.
Entrants are responsible for ensuring they are physically able to participate in the HOKA Runaway Sydney Half Marathon, and meet any participation requirements (including age, health, and fitness requirements) set by The IronMan Group.
3. How to Enter
To enter, participants must complete all of the following steps during the competition period:
- Follow @molemapau on Instagram.
- Comment on the competition post answering the question: in 25 words or less, tell us the one running day ritual you swear by and why.
- Tag a running buddy, or someone they'd love to run with, in their comment.
Entries that do not complete all three steps will be deemed invalid. Entries are limited to one (1) per person and one (1) per Instagram account. Multiple entries from the same person or account will be disqualified.
The tag requirement is a participation step only. The tagged person does not need to be following @molemapau and is not entered into the competition by virtue of being tagged. Winners will be selected solely on the merit of their pre-run ritual response, not based on who they tag (see Section 5).
Entries must be original work submitted by the entrant. Entries that contain offensive, discriminatory, defamatory, or otherwise inappropriate content, or that infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party, will be disqualified at the Promoter’s sole discretion.
The Promoter accepts no responsibility for late, lost, incomplete, or technically corrupted entries.
4. Competition Period
The competition opens at 10:00am AEST on Wednesday 29 April 2026 and closes at 10:00am AEST on Thursday 30 April 2026. Entries received after the closing time will not be eligible.
5. Judging (Game of Skill)
This is a game of skill, not chance. Winners will be selected by a panel of judges from the MoleMap Australia team based solely on the merit of their 25-word response, against the following pre-defined judging criteria:
- Creativity – the originality and inventiveness of the pre-run ritual described.
- Authenticity – how genuine and personal the response feels.
- Engagement – how compelling and well-articulated the response is.
The tag-a-friend requirement (Section 3) is a participation step only. The identity of the tagged person, the number of tags, or any other element of the tag will have no bearing on judging. Winners are determined exclusively on the merit of their 25-word written response.
The judging panel will assess each valid entry against these criteria. The five (5) entries that score highest will be selected as winners. In the event of a tie, the judging panel will reassess the tied entries against the criteria above and select the winner based on additional merit. No random tiebreaker or random draw will be used at any stage.
The judging panel’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. The Promoter reserves the right to disqualify any entry that does not comply with these Terms and Conditions or that is deemed inappropriate or inconsistent with the Promoter’s brand values.
6. Winner Notification
Winners will be announced on Thursday 30 April 2026 by 5:00pm AEST on the @molemapau Instagram page (via comments on the competition post) and will be contacted directly via Instagram direct message from @molemapau only.
Winners must respond within twenty-four (24) hours of being contacted (by 5:00pm AEST on Friday 1 May 2026 at the latest) to claim their prize and provide the necessary details for race entry transfer. If a winner cannot be contacted, does not respond within this timeframe, or fails to meet any of the eligibility or entry requirements, the Promoter reserves the right to withdraw the prize and select a new winner from the remaining valid entries, judged using the same criteria above.
Winners’ names (Instagram handle) will be published on @molemapau and remain visible for at least thirty (30) days following the announcement, in accordance with Australian trade promotion guidelines.
7. Use of Entries and Intellectual Property
By entering the competition, participants grant the Promoter a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, reproduce, edit, and publish their entry (including their Instagram handle, comment text, and profile image) for promotional and marketing purposes across the Promoter’s owned channels, with credit to the entrant where reasonable.
Participants warrant that their entry is their original work and does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or any other rights of any third party. The Promoter accepts no liability for any breach of these warranties by an entrant.
By accepting the prize, the winner agrees to participate in reasonable promotional and marketing activities relating to the competition and the Promoter.
8. Privacy

Personal information will be used for the purpose of administering the competition, contacting winners, fulfilling prizes, and (with consent) marketing communications.

The Promoter accepts no liability where any such event occurs. Its decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
