The
Mudgee Marathon Weekend enters its 8th year and 2008
sees the inaugural 10km Fun Run added to its usual program
of the 5km Fun Run, Half Marathon & Marathon.
The Mudgee race is well known for its relaxed friendly
atmosphere which is perfect for the first timer who's
looking for a no-pressure race, yet is still a course
that is challenging to the experienced marathoner. The
course weaves itself through the picturesque Mudgee
valley; past vineyards, farmland, grazing cattle, and
a band of friendly and enthusiastic volunteers cheering
you on! And
while we believe that running a marathon is, well,
a marathon effort, why not make it even more meaningful
by running for a cause?
