Marathon, Half Marathon, 10k & 5k Fun Run
24th - 25th AUGUST 2013
The Mudgee Running
Festival is well known for its relaxed friendly atmosphere which is
perfect for the first timer who is 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!
All competitors for the Marathon and Half Marathon receive a quality
Mudgee Running Festival running T-shirt with successful finishers
also receiving a Finishers' medal.
5 & 10k Fun
Runs on the Saturday and Half & Full Marathon on the Sunday.
It's a
fun family event and a great festival atmosphere - a Jumping Castle
for the kids, food/drinks, merchandise tents, and very importantly,
a good coffee van onsite! On Sunday, there's
a free BBQ lunch for runners, and a food kiosk with lots available
for supporters for a small fee - so we'd love it if you'd stay for
Presentation.
Event Merchandise - T-shirts, caps and bags - will be available for
purchase on both days.
Take a long weekend to enjoy your Mudgee experience. There are cute
cafes, charming wine bars and casual brasseries, with no less than
40 wineries within easy reach.
