McGrath Launceston Running Festival
The McGrath Launceston Running Festival takes place in Launceston, Tasmania on 31 May 2026. The event programme includes road races across several distances and a festival village. The Peppers Silo Half Marathon is held as part of the programme and carries a World Athletics Elite Label.
The festival features these race options:
- Peppers Silo Half Marathon World Athletics Elite Label
- Tamar Chiro 10 km run 90 minute cut off
- The Athlete's Foot 5 km run or walk
- Liv Eat 1 Mile 1609 metres
The course used for the half marathon and shorter races is described as very flat and has produced many personal bests. The event overview notes historically cool but fast conditions and deep competitive fields. The 10 km event is run with a 90 minute cut off. Team entries, festival village facilities, and event information pages are part of the festival structure for participants and supporters.
Entries are open for the 31 May 2026 edition. Additional event information covers pricing, timetable, transport and parking, and frequently asked questions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
