C.ex Group Coffs Harbour Running Festival

The C.ex Group Coffs Harbour Running Festival is a community event with a Marathon, Half Marathon, 10-kilometre and 5-kilometre Fun Runs and a 3-kilometre Family Fun Run/Walk. New to 2025 is an iconic Marathon and 1 lap Half Marathon course. Runners take in the Coffs Creek Walkway and Botanic Gardens before heading out to the stunning Jetty Foreshores for the first time in the event's history. Spectacular scenery awaits on the North Wall, running out to the end of the Coffs Harbour Jetty on the way out, to the end of the South Wall and to the end of the Coffs Harbour Jetty on the way back. Runners have a shaded finish along the gravel paths and boardwalks of the northern side of Coffs Creek Walkway. The shorter distances are held on a flat, shady Coffs Creek walkway, with the picturesque track hugging the beautiful Coffs Creek. Runners cross floating boardwalks, through swamp forests of mangrove, casuarina and paperbark trees from the centre of town to the coast and back.
