MUDGEE RUNNING FESTIVAL

ย 

The Mudgee Running Festival is well known for its relaxed, friendly atmosphere – perfect for the first-timer who is looking for a no-pressure race, yet still, a course that is challenging to the experienced marathoner.

Our festival features Marathon, Half Marathon, 10km and 5km events on the same day.ย The longer courses weave through the picturesque Mudgee valley; past vineyards, wineries, farmland, grazing cattle, and a band of friendly and enthusiastic volunteers cheering you on! And the shorter events run alongside the Cudgegong River and around Lawson Park.

There will be a massage service for competitors, food & drinks, and most importantly, great coffee. Plus, every participant will receive a finisherโ€™s medal.ย

Visiting our region?
