C.ex Group Coffs Harbour Running Festival

The C.ex Group Coffs Harbour Running Festival is a vibrant community event offering something for everyone, from seasoned marathoners to families looking for a fun day out. The festival features a Marathon, Half Marathon, 10km and 5km Fun Runs, and a 3km Family Fun Run/Walk. The event includes an iconic Marathon and 1-lap Half Marathon course. Participants will experience the natural beauty of the Coffs Creek Walkway, Botanic Gardens, and the Jetty Foreshores. Marathon and Half Marathon runners will enjoy spectacular coastal scenery, including the North Wall, a run to the end of the Coffs Harbour Jetty, and a return via the South Wall. The course finishes with a shaded stretch along the gravel paths and boardwalks of the northern side of the Coffs Creek Walkway. Shorter Distances (10km, 5km, 3km) follow a flat, shaded course along the picturesque Coffs Creek Walkway. Participants will cross floating boardwalks and pass through lush swamp forests of mangrove, casuarina, and paperbark trees, from the town centre to the coast and back. Spectators are strongly encouraged to cheer on participants at the stunning Jetty Foreshores or celebrate the energy and excitement as runners begin and complete their journey at Coffs Harbour Showground.
