Returning on 14 September 2025, the C.ex Group Coffs Harbour Running Festival is one of the region’s most inclusive and community-focused athletic events. Hosted by the Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour, 100% of event proceeds go directly to local charities and causes. The 2025 edition introduces a brand-new Marathon course and a one-lap Half Marathon, alongside the classic 10K, 5K, and 3K distances. Participants will enjoy shaded paths through mangrove forests, floating boardwalks, and spectacular views from the North and South Jetty Walls, all starting and finishing at the Coffs Harbour Showground. The festival emphasizes fun and accessibility with wave starts, team challenges, on-course support, and family-friendly amenities.
