The Bouddi Coastal Run is a spectacular trail run through Bouddi National Park on the NSW Central Coast, about 90 minutes north of Sydney, held on Saturday 7 November 2026. Based at Killcare, the course links rugged headlands, shaded bush trails and secluded beaches, taking in the lookouts at Gerrin Point and Bouddi Point and the white sands of Maitland Bay.
There are two trail distances, a 21km and a 14km, over a genuinely varied mix of smooth trail, clifftop track, sand and rocky sections, plus a 1km Kids Beach Run for the little ones. Run by Maximum Adventure, it is one of the most scenic days on the Sydney-region trail calendar and reliably sells out, so enter early.
John Pinchen went one better on Saturday 8 November 2025, winning the 21km in 1:48:55 — 26 seconds slower than the run that had left him second a year earlier, but this time almost five minutes clear of Matthew Hallam. The performance of the day came from Stephanie Auston, whose 2:03:55 put her third outright and more than six minutes ahead of the next woman. There were 439 finishers.

Zbynek Hanys won the 21km on Saturday 9 November 2024 in 1:45:48, two minutes forty-one ahead of John Pinchen. Oliwia Burke was the fastest woman in 2:17:13, 23rd overall from 444 finishers. The clifftop track, bush trail and beach sand make this a slower 21km than the distance suggests — the winning pace works out at just over five minutes per kilometre.
