Final Race Day Information

Jul 3, 2025

Raffertys Coastal Run is nearly here! We can’t wait to see you at Lake Macquarie on Saturday.

Due to recent weather there will be sections of the course that are muddy and slippery and you will get your feet wet crossing some of the creeks on course. Come prepared and watch your footing out there!

Depending on the swell in the coming days there is a possibility that we will need to re-route the course slightly at Catherine Hill Bay headland and Frazer Beach to ensure safety. Don’t stress about this – if it’s needed there will be plenty of course marking and marshals in place to guide you.

Race bibs will be available to pick up from registration on Friday Night (between 5:00-7:00pm) and Saturday morning from 7:00am. You will need to know your race bib number for collection. All participants have received an email with their race numbers, if you have not you can check the Runner List.

Please be aware that parking within Raffertys Resort will be limited due to the wet conditions. Once the Resort is full, parking will be along Raffertys Road, and then down near Cams Wharf boat ramp and the parking areas along Crangan Bay Drive.

Follow the directions of parking marshals and volunteers to the nearest available parking. Please make sure not to block any driveways or roads when parking.

If arriving for the later event starts (22km and 12km especially) you might end up with a 5-10min walk to the Event Centre after finding a park. Plan accordingly, remember we will have a bag drop area for your gear at the Resort.

The Event Program is available via the button below. This important document has all the information you need about the race including the event schedule, location, transport, race bibs, registration and aid stations.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!
