Formerly known as the much-loved Pub2Pub, the Beach2Beach Running Festival is the Northern Beaches' favourite charity fun run, linking Sydney's stunning coastline with a cracking finish-line festival at Newport. Run by the Rotary Club of Warringah, it raises funds for local causes while giving thousands of runners and walkers a brilliant excuse to enjoy the beaches.
There's a run for everyone: a half marathon (new for 2026) and 14km starting at Dee Why Beach, a 6km from Warriewood, and a family-friendly 3km from Mona Vale — all finishing at Newport Beach. The coastal route is rolling and scenic, and the festival finish comes complete with live music, food, a licensed bar and rides for the kids.
It's a community event with a relaxed, party atmosphere, so bring the family and stick around afterwards. Parking on the Northern Beaches is tight on event morning — carpool or use the shuttle options where available. Enter online ahead of time to lock in your spot and your race-day singlet. Whether you're chasing the new half marathon or strolling the 3km, it's one of Sydney's most enjoyable mornings on the run calendar.
