Raffertys Coastal Run returns for the second time in 2023! The trail running event will again bring runners, families, and spectators to the magnificent shores of Lake Macquarie and the Catherine Hill Bay coastline for an exciting day of racing with 12 km, 22 km and 36 km distance options plus a 1 km Kids Fun Run. Lake Macquarie is a natural adventure playground; the picturesque lake and wild coastlines are iconic of the east coast of Australia. The Raffertys Coastal Run trail takes in the very best of the area, the course snakes through the Wallarah National Park taking runners on a journey from calm lake shore to rugged coastline. The course will take runners through varied terrain from bushland single track to ridgetop fire trail, coastal track, rock platforms and sandy beaches; all the elements of a top trail. Highlights include traversing the clifftop tracks overlooking the South Pacific Ocean, speeding through the forests of Munmorah State Conservation Area and the historic mining town of Catherine Hill Bay – where 36km runners will pass beneath the old timber coal-loading jetty, an imposing structure extending an impressive 240 meters into the sea.
This event is proudly supported by Lake Macquarie City Council
