About this event

The GC50 Run Festival is a weekend of road running on the Southern Gold Coast, featuring distances for a wide range of runners, from a 50km ultra and half marathon through to shorter community and kids events.

Held over the October long weekend, the festival is known for its flat, scenic coastal courses, relaxed beachside atmosphere and finish-line celebration, making it appealing to both competitive runners and those looking for a fun, social run.
