CAL 100 FUN RUN

WHAT? The Cal 100 Fun Run is a unique community event that brings people together to run, jog or walk for 100 minutes and see just how far they can go. Open to participants aged 5 years and above, the event includes team categories for children, youth and adults, as well as a solo category for adults.

Alongside the 100-minute Fun Run, participants and spectators can enjoy the Beat the Croc challenge, food and coffee vendors, raffles, merchandise and a great community atmosphere.

Proudly delivered by the Caloundra State School P&C Association in partnership with Gold Sponsor The Waves Club Caloundra, Bronze Sponsors Pacific Ford Caloundra, Helping Hands Network, and The Sports Hub Sunshine Coast, and supported by local businesses and community organisations.

WHY? The Cal 100 Fun Run builds community spirit while supporting our school’s long-running Cal 100km Club, where students aim to run 100km each year. The Club promotes fun, fitness, friendship and healthy habits, helping students stay active and ready to learn. Funds raised will support student participation and distance milestone awards (certificates, medals and trophies), and discounted running shirts that foster pride, belonging and school spirit.

WHEN? Sunday 13 September 2026; Gates open: 7:00; Run start: 8:00am; Run finish: 9:40am; Beat the Croc followed by presentations: 10:00am; Event concludes: 10:30am - 11am.

WHERE? The event will take place at the Lower Fields of Caloundra State School, bordered by George, Queen, and Ulm Streets.

Each team can bring one tent or marquee (3m x 3m or 3m x 6m) to set up in a designated space to enjoy shade and rest between running on the circuit!
