Welcome back to the 11th running of our popular Western Coastal Running Festival.
The event held at the marathon capital of Australia is run along the coastal bike/walk path starting from Semaphore South.
The course is an AIMS measured 10.55km loop. The start/finish is in the middle so you're never more than approx 5km from our aid station.
Distances on offer include 5km, 10km, 15km, 21.1km half marathon & 30kms.
A 7:00am start for all distances. Race bib and finisher medal INCLUDED for all distances.
"WESTERN" theme for this event with trophy awarded to the person who best represents this theme as voted on by all in attendance.
Part proceeds to the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) to help #endcancer.
Virtual Run -
Available for all events. Must be run on the actual event day at a convenient time and location of your own choosing. Includes race bib and finisher medal which would require collection when convenient as we do not post items. You will need to record your run on Strava or the like showing "elapsed" or "total" time, not "moving" time. Please send your run link or a screenshot to coastalfunruns to be included in online published results. Enjoy the journey as being Virtual means no cut-off time. All virtual runs regardless of distance at set at a fixed price of $25.00.
Some of our courses are AIMS certified and measured.

Start location is opposite South Tce Semaphore on the coastal bike/walk path.
