Run Fest - Central Coast
The Run Fest - Central Coast features a series of running events held along the coastline. Participants start their races underneath the bridge and conclude at Memorial Park. The event utilizes wave starts to manage the field, and all runners receive an individual start time tracked by a timing chip integrated into their race bib.
The festival offers five distinct distances:
- Full Marathon
- Half Marathon
- 10 km Fun Run
- 5 km Family Fun Run
- 3 km Family Fun Run
Course support includes four contact-less aid stations located approximately every 2 km, providing water and electrolyte drinks. Medical personnel are stationed at the race precinct and at various points along the course. A secure bag storage area is located in Memorial Park.
Finishers in all categories receive a medal and a downloadable certificate. Trophies are awarded to the top three male and female finishers in the marathon, half marathon, 10 km, and 5 km events. Results are determined by net timing.
Registration is available online until maximum capacity is reached. Participants must collect their race kits on the Saturday before the event at Mingara One, as there is no bib pick-up on Sunday. Alternatively, runners may choose to have their bibs posted in advance. Prams are permitted but must start at the back of the field, while pets are not allowed.
