Armidale Running Festival : Armidale NSW
The Armidale Running Festival is a two-day community event held in Civic Park at 75 Faulkner Street, Armidale NSW 2350. The festival combines a range of running events with a market atmosphere that includes live music, local food, community stalls, kids activities, play areas, picnic zones, and a large regional market.
The running program is spread across the weekend and includes a mix of short and longer distances. Several 1 kilometre events are organised by age group, and the weekend also features 3 km, 5 km, 10 km and a half marathon. A Golden Ticket entry allows participation in every event; the combined times from each event create an overall finishing time that determines the overall champions.
Some children's 1 km races are free. Other races have set entry fees with early bird and standard pricing windows. Prize money is offered for the Golden Ticket combined standings, the half marathon and the 10 km, with equal amounts for male and female prize winners. Prize values include Golden Ticket first place A$1,000, and prize tiers for the half marathon and 10 km as listed by the organiser.
All runs start and finish at Civic Park. Participants are asked to line up according to pace and to keep left to allow safe passing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
