The Central Coast Running Festival is a Run Fest road event at The Entrance on the NSW Central Coast. The 2026 edition is on Sunday 27 September, offering a marathon, half marathon, 10km, 5km and a 3km family fun run.
Every distance starts under the bridge at The Entrance and finishes in Memorial Park, following the channel between Tuggerah Lake and the ocean. It's a flat, fast course with aid stations about every 2km, finisher medals for all, and overall trophies in the marathon, half, 10km and 5km. Early-bird entry ranges from $20 for the 3km to $130 for the marathon. The Entrance is about 90 minutes north of Sydney, an easy weekend trip.
