Gold Coast Running Festival

The Gold Coast Running Festival is an annual community event that is suitable for experienced runners as well as beginners, families and children.

Head over to the Cbus Super Stadium for this fantastic event and help raise money for a worthy cause.

The Gold Coast Running Festival has a number of categories of events including; Half Marathon (21.1km run for elite runners), 10km Run (for elite and experienced runners), 5km Run/Walk (for beginners or intermediate); 2.5km Family Run/Walk (perfect for beginners or those with children).

There is also a special event just for kids called the Michael Shelley 1km Dash where parents and kids can get dressed up and have a fun run or walk together! There will also be a fun kid’s corner to entertain your children with a jumping castle and face painting which can be enjoyed after the event.

A portion of each of the entry fees goes towards raising money for the charity LIVIN which has a vision for: ‘Community, connection, hope, and help will replace silence. Changing the way society understands, perceives and interprets mental illness.’ Entrants will also receive a visor and a medal when they finish the race.

Fruit and drinks will be provided to participants as they cross the finish line and there will be kiosks open at the venue where you can purchase food and drink.

So bring your whole family to this fun outdoor charity event and get some exercise whilst you raise money for a worthy cause!
