Port Macquarie Runners

Port Macquarie Runners is a prominent sports club located in the Port Macquarie-Hastings Council area of New South Wales, Australia. With an annual event called Run Fest Port Macquarie, the club has become a notable fixture on the local running scene. In collaboration with Eire Constructions, a respected civil construction company, Port Macquarie Runners aims to provide an exceptional race weekend experience for participants while also supporting community groups.

Run Fest Port Macquarie has seen remarkable growth since its inception, with over 2,500 competitors now taking part in the event. By aligning with Eire Constructions, the club aims to continue this upward trajectory and establish Run Fest Port Macquarie as a must-attend destination race in the region. Regardless of whether you are an elite athlete, jogger, or walker, there is an event tailored to your skill level and preferences at Run Fest Port Macquarie.

The event is primarily held in the picturesque Port Macquarie Town Green area, with courses that span from Town Beach to Settlement Point. The festivities kick off on Saturday 2nd March with local parkrun events, followed by the Team Holborow Kids 3 km fun runs in the afternoon. The kids' fun runs are timed and divided into different age categories to ensure an enjoyable and fair experience for participants. The day concludes with the Indigenous Marathon Foundation 3 km #RunSweatInspire, which also serves as the selection event for the Indigenous Marathon Project.

On Sunday 3rd March, participants can choose from four events: the Half Marathon, 10 km, 5 km, or the Growers Market Port Macquarie Treble Breakwall Buster. The Treble Breakwall Buster dares participants to complete the Half Marathon, 10 km, and 5 km events, totalling a challenging distance of 36. 1 km.
