About this event
Set against the scenic Murrumbidgee River, the Wagga Running Festival offers a choice of distances for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The event takes place at the Riverside Precinct in Wagga Wagga on Sunday, 22 November 2026.
Participants can choose from a half marathon, 10km, 5km or 2km Family Dash. Each course follows the picturesque Wiradjuri Walking Track, with the longer routes using a fully paved, flat course between Wiradjuri Reserve and Copeland Street. The fast, accessible setting provides an enjoyable way to experience the riverside landscape while taking part in a friendly community running event.
The 2km Family Dash is designed to make the festival accessible to younger participants and families, while the longer distances offer a challenge for recreational runners and more experienced competitors. All events are chip timed, and every finisher receives a medal.
