May 3, 2021

Raffertys Coastal Run, proudly sponsored by Lake Macquarie City Council is fast approaching and is just two months away. With entries 50% sold out now, you don’t want to think about this for too long, otherwise you will risk missing out when event capacity is reached very soon.

Hosted from the magnificent Raffertys Resort on the shores of beautiful Lake Macquarie, runners have the option of three course distances: 12km, 22km and 36km accommodating runners of all abilities.

Starting and finishing at Raffertys Resort, the trail snakes through the Wallarah National Park taking in the sites of beautiful Lake Macquarie and the stunning coastline of historic Catherine Hill Bay and the Munmorah Conservation Area.

The terrain is varied – bushland single track, fire trail, coastal tracks, rock platforms and beach running all feature to challenge and excite the most discerning of trail runners.

An official 1km Kids Fun Run is also on offer with all little trail runners receiving a finishers medal and race number, just like mum and dad.

Now is the time to book your runcation away for the weekend in the beautiful Lake Macquarie region, just 90 mins north of Sydney. The diversity of Lake Mac makes it the perfect playground to explore, from sweeping arcs of golden coasts to the rolling green mountain forest, explore the incredible range of natural environments. Lake Mac is a city unlike any other, there’s something for the whole family!
