Mudgee Running Festival
Jun 05, 2026
Lace up your runners - the Mudgee Running Festival is back on Sunday, 23 August, inviting locals and visitorsalike to take part in one of the region’s most loved community events.
Known for its relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the festival offers something for everyone, whether you’re tackling your first race or chasing a new personal best. With four distances to choose from - marathon, half marathon, 10km and a 5km Fun Run - participants can experience the beauty of the Mudgee region at their own pace.
The marathon and half marathon courses wind through the picturesque valley, passing vineyards, farmland and cheering locals along the way, while the shorter distances follow the scenic Cudgegong River and Lawson Park. This year, the 5km Fun Run will also start on Church Street, with a short road closure in place to create an even more vibrant race-day atmosphere.
Every participant will receive a medal, with early entrants in the marathon and half marathon (before 30 June) also scoring a free event t-shirt. For those looking to keep things fun, there are prizes up for grabs for the best dressed in the 5km.
Entries close 22 August.
