Organised by the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour, the event raises funds for local kids charities, with over $50,000 donated in 2023.

“We are set for what will be the biggest turnout we have seen in the Coffs Harbour Running Festival’s history!” Event Director Keelan Birch said.

“We are easily on track to have more than 1,500 runners at the festival.

“In particular, the Half Marathon has over 250 entries already.”

According to Keelan, one of the reasons for growth is the large number of social running clubs forming across Australia since the COVID-19 pandemic
“People run for different reasons but across Australia,” said Keelan.

“I think a lot of people are enjoying the low cost and low barrier to entry that running provides, combined with the community and social element of an event.

“The best part about the Coffs Harbour Running Festival is the more people who enter, the more we can donate to local charities.”
