Geelong Running Festival 2026

Geelong, Australia, 20 September 2026

This road half marathon takes runners on traffic-free streets through Geelong, passing through Kardinia Park and along Corio Bay and the Eastern Beach foreshore. The course is fully on road, World Athletics certified and AIMS recognised, with enough climbing to demand pacing rather than feeling flat throughout. As part of the festival’s inaugural edition, it offers a city-focused race experience that combines waterfront scenery with landmark sections through central Geelong.

One distance, 22 km, up to 200 m of climb.
