Mudgee Running Festival known for its relaxed and friendly atmosphere is a perfect venue for first-timers who are looking for a no-pressure race yet still challenging enough for experienced marathoners.
The short events run alongside the Cudgegong River and around Lawson Park. The longer courses weave through the picturesque Mudgee valley; past vineyards, wineries, farmland, and grazing cattle.
Designed for a fun, family event with a great supportive atmosphere. With a band of friendly enthusiastic supporters and volunteers cheering on competitors on the side.
There will be fun activities for kids too including a jumping castle, massage service for the participants, food and drinks, and great coffee!
