Event overview
The Port Fairy Marathon and Community Running Festival is scheduled for 22 February 2026 in Port Fairy, Victoria. The event is based around Railway Place in Port Fairy and offers a certified, multi-loop course that runs through heritage-lined streets, areas with Norfolk pines, beaches, coastline, a historic wharf, and the Moyne River riverfront. The festival identifies Syngap Research Fund Australia as its charity partner and lists a fundraising total of $1,223.03 for that organisation.

The event includes the following race distances:
- 42.2 km marathon
- 21.1 km half marathon

Registration is available as individual entries or as team entries. Teams are groups of participants managed under a team coordinator, and the team that covers the most kilometres is eligible for cash prizes. The organiser publishes tiered pricing with early bird, standard, and last-minute rates for each distance. The event description also notes opportunities for fundraising and community partnership activities related to Syngap1 syndrome, described as a rare genetic disorder characterised by seizures and intellectual disability that typically requires lifelong care.
The event materials describe Port Fairy as a seaside village at the end of the Great Ocean Road with historic bluestone buildings, a nineteenth century wharf, and nearby natural attractions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
