Hill to Harbour : Newcastle NSW
Hill to Harbour is a multi-event community running day in Newcastle, NSW, with routes for runners, walkers and wheelchair participants of all ages and abilities. The feature event is a 12 km point to point course along the coastline, starting at Bar Beach and finishing at Pat Jordan Oval in Carrington. The 6 km Halfa Hill to Harbour covers the final 6 km from The Station to the same finish. The Hunter Valley Orthodontics 2K-4-FUN is a 2 km loop that starts and finishes at Pat Jordan Oval.
Event features include a wave start system for the 12 km race with colour coded wristbands issued in race kits; entrants choose a wave based on expected finish time and can change waves before race day. Wave entry areas will be clearly marked on the park side of the Memorial Drive start line.
Race kit collection is available the day before the event at a venue to be announced and there are race day collection points near the start and finish areas. Other event services include on course drink stations, on site and mobile medical services, electronic timing with a disposable chip on the race bib, road closures and traffic control, and live results. Every finisher receives a medal. Participants may fundraise for charity; Hill to Harbour participants raised more than $72,000 for charity in 2026.
