Run Fest South West Rocks

The historic Trial Bay Gaol serves as the starting and finishing point for every course, leading participants along the South West Rocks foreshore. The atmosphere resembles a relaxed coastal run festival more than a competitive race day, with beginners, regular runners, and families participating together around Trial Bay. Underfoot conditions will include coastal paths and scenic trails, offering notable coastal views to motivate participants. The shorter, family-friendly events are designed to accommodate children, and wave starts are implemented to ensure a less congested opening stretch. The combination of natural beauty and historical significance, featuring sea air, old stone walls, and a finish line at the gaol, is a key attraction.
