Stay For The Weekend

Jun 27, 2024

We are getting excited to host the Raffertys Coastal Run once again from the beautiful Raffertys Resort on Lake Macquarie. 

With the event falling in the school holidays we recommend making it a full weekend away, give yourself time to explore the exciting Lake Macquarie region post-run.

Accommodation is available right on the start line at the beautiful Raffertys Resort. Unwind and reward yourself after your run, with resort facilities including a bar and restaurant, heated swimming pool, massage treatments, tennis courts, bike and kayak hire. Everything to entertain the whole family, and it is nice to know they will be at the finish line cheering you home! Give Raffertys Resort a call directly on 02 4972 5555 to make a reservation.

If you live or are staying locally, race registration will be open on Friday night from 5.30pm to 7.30pm, so come through and pick up your race bib early, and clock the extra sleep in on Saturday morning. Yet another reason to come up for the whole weekend, we look forward to seeing you there!

A big thank you to headline sponsor Raffertys Resort and major sponsor Lake Macquarie Council who are helping us bring you this must-do trail running event.

See you at Lake Mac in a few weeks!
