The Yeppoon Running Festival is Central Queensland’s must-do coastal running event, bringing together athletes, families and fun-seekers for an unforgettable day by the sea.
Held along Yeppoon’s breathtaking foreshore, every course delivers ocean views, palm-lined paths and a buzzing atmosphere that only a tropical seaside town can provide. From the 1.6km Family Fun Run and the fast-paced 2km Dash to the 5km, 10km, half marathon and marathon, there’s a distance for everyone – whether you’re chasing a new PB or just soaking up the coastal vibes.
It’s more than a run – it’s a festival of fitness, community and adventure. With live support along the course, professional race organisation and the warm hospitality Yeppoon is famous for, you’ll feel like part of something special the moment you cross the start line. And when the racing’s done, the Capricorn Coast invites you to stay and play – relax in vibrant cafes, explore boutique shops, or jump aboard to discover the Keppel Islands and Southern Great Barrier Reef.
Make this your racecation. Make memories, chase goals and celebrate the best of Queensland at the Yeppoon Running Festival!
