Mudgee Running Festival

Mudgee Running Festival

Share

We are well known for the relaxed friendly atmosphere which is perfect for all types of runners. It’s a fun family event with a great festival atmosphere.

Annual events include a Marathon, Half Marathon, 5km & 10km Fun Runs, all held on the one day. The course weaves itself through the picturesque Mudgee valley; past vineyards, wineries, farmland, grazing cattle, and a band of friendly and enthusiastic volunteers cheering you on! There’s a jumping castle for the kids, a massage service for competitors, food & drinks, and very importantly, good coffe

🏁 A huge thank you to Image Signs for their ongoing support of the Mudgee Running Festival! 💜

From the course maps at Race HQ, to the directional signs that keep everyone on track, right through to the sign every runner is looking forward to seeing... the FINISH LINE. 🎉

Their bright, high-quality signage plays an important role in helping race weekend run smoothly, and looks great.

We're incredibly grateful for their continued support and the part they play in making the Mudgee Running Festival such a great experience for our runners, volunteers and spectators.

Thank you, Image Signs, for helping point everyone in the right direction... and, most importantly, to the finish line! 💙

🏃 Marshal runners along the course
💧 Help at an aid station
🏁 Welcome runners home at the finish line
📦 Lend a hand on Friday putting out signs and bunting, with Saturday set up or Sunday afternoon pack down.

This week, Nick Kastelein Coaching is talking about one of the easiest ways to make race day more enjoyable - wearing the right shoes and making sure you’ve worn them in well before the big day.

If your current shoes have seen better days, now’s the perfect time to head into SportsPower Mudgee . They’ve been a valued supporter of the Mudgee Running Festival for many years, and their experienced team can help make sure you’re fitted with the right shoes for both your training and race day.

Keeping Mudgee Moving 🏃
A huge thank you to Mudgee Physio for their ongoing support of our running festival.

From running assessments and sport-specific strength programs to injury rehabilitation and return-to-running plans, their experienced team helps runners of all levels recover safely, move better and get back to doing what they love.

We’re thrilled to have Mudgee Physio supporting our event again this year. If you’re carrying a ni**le or recovering from an injury, now’s the perfect time to get on top of it before race day. 💙

Mudgee Physio will also be at race HQ at bib collection and again supporting our runners on race day - more details to follow…

Training tip #2 with Nick Kastelein Coaching: Tackle those hills 🏃‍♂️⛰️🏃‍♀️

⏰ 5 Weeks to Go!
In just five weeks we'll be welcoming runners and walkers from across Australia. Many of them probably hold other passports too (we assume!), so we could almost, possibly, technically call ourselves an international event. 😉

We might need to work on our international marketing campaign for next year though, as we're still waiting on registrations from Canada, Dubai, the Czech Republic and Japan... but there's still time! 😄

2026 entries are looking incredibly strong and up 20% on this time last year! Thank you to everyone who’s registered already.

If you’re planning on entering the half we recommend doing so soon… or you might find the only spots left are for the marathon😅
