C.ex Group Coffs Harbour Running Festival

The C.ex Group Coffs Harbour Running Festival on 30 August 2026 offers something for everyone with a Marathon, Half Marathon, 10km & 5km Fun Runs, and a 3km Family Fun Run/Walk. This popular community and charity event welcomes runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The event features an iconic Marathon and a scenic one-lap Half Marathon course, showcasing the natural beauty of the region. Participants will enjoy the serenity of the Coffs Creek Walkway and Botanic Gardens before heading towards the stunning Jetty Foreshores. Along the way, runners will take in spectacular views from the North Wall, run out to the end of the Coffs Harbour Jetty, and continue to the end of the South Wall, before returning via the Jetty and into the finish. The finish line experience includes a shaded, tranquil route along the northern side of the Coffs Creek Walkway, winding through gravel paths and wooden boardwalks. Shorter distances offer a flat, fast, and shaded course, following the picturesque Coffs Creek trail. The route includes floating boardwalks and winds through lush swamp forests filled with mangroves, casuarinas, and paperbark trees, connecting the heart of the town to the coastline and back.
