The Geelong Running Festival will stage it’s first ever marathon, complimented by a half marathon and community 8 kilometre event.

You can run or walk around the streets of Geelong traffic free, pass through iconic Kardinia Park, and enjoy picturesque views of Corio Bay and the Eastern Beach foreshore.

The Geelong Running Festival is a promotion of health, fitness, and participation, while celebrating Geelong’s rich history and iconic landmarks. Geelong people are proud and passionate about their beautiful city, and with the incredible support from the City of Greater Geelong, they cannot wait to welcome local, national, and international runners to not only run in Geelong, but to explore the beautiful region in 2026.
