Along the sea edge at Catherine Hill Bay, Raffertys Coastal Run is a trail day built around salt air, open nature, and enough climbing to keep your legs honest. The phrase “by the sea” fits it plainly: this is the kind of run where you come to breathe the big air while running Australia’s wild trails, not to chase a flat road rhythm.
The routes sit on coastal terrain with nature and mountain character, so expect changing footing, exposed seaside sections, and climbs that matter. Fields from the previous edition were a few hundred runners per route, which usually means company on the trail without losing the feeling of being out in the landscape.
