Beach to Brother Trail Running Festival

Picture yourself running along the stunning Mid North Coast coastline, where every step takes you from pristine beaches to lush coastal pathways, through tranquil rainforests and up to the breathtaking summit of North Brother Mountain. That’s the magic of the Coast Cardiology Beach to Brother Trail Running Festival, happening Sunday 28 September 2025 in Port Macquarie. With distances for all abilities – including a 5km, 10km and 21km for runners and walkers, to the ultimate 42km marathon either individually or in a team relay option with 2-4 friends – it’s the perfect mix of challenge, adventure and unforgettable scenery.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best, enjoying a day out with mates, or simply keen to soak up the incredible views, this event has something for you. Expect a buzzing community vibe, dedicated volunteers, and the satisfaction of crossing the finish line at one of the most iconic lookouts on the coast. Lace up, gather your friends and family, and be part of an event that celebrates fitness, nature, and the Port Macquarie–Hastings community. 🌿🏃‍♂️🌊
