About this event
The C.ex Group Coffs Harbour Running Festival returns to Coffs Harbour on Sunday, 12 September 2027, offering a choice of distances for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities.
Events include a marathon, half marathon, 10km fun run, 5km fun run and walk, 3km fun run and walk, and a 1km fun run and walk. All distances start and finish at the Coffs Harbour Showground.
The longer courses showcase Coffs Harbour’s coastal scenery, including Coffs Creek, the Botanic Gardens, the Jetty Foreshores, North Wall, Coffs Harbour Jetty and South Wall. Participants also experience the peaceful Coffs Creek Walkway, with gravel paths, wooden boardwalks and floating boardwalks winding through mangrove, casuarina and paperbark forest.
The shorter events follow a flatter, fast and shaded route along the picturesque Coffs Creek trail, making them suitable for families, first-time participants and those seeking a more relaxed challenge.
Proudly organised by the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour, the festival is a community-focused event that combines running, walking and fundraising. More than $100,000 was raised for local charities and community organisations in 2026, bringing the total returned to the local community since the festival began in 2011 to more than $600,000.
Entries for the 2027 festival are scheduled to open at 9am on Saturday, 30 January 2027.
