Run The Maine

Run The Maine is a community running festival held at Camp Reserve, Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia. Edition 17 in 2025 offers three distances: a point-to-point Half Marathon from Maldon to Castlemaine, a 10 km Walmer Forest Loop, and a 5 km Run/Walk through Castlemaine’s botanical gardens. The Half Marathon follows the historic Goldfields Steam Train route along well-made fire trails and paths through woodlands and open paddocks; the 10 km climbs into Walmer Forest before looping back to town; and the 5 km provides a fast, almost flat out-and-back course.

The event blends scenery with a volunteer-driven atmosphere and fundraising for Dhelkaya Health. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
