Discover the heritage and excitement of the Tamworth Running Festival!

Join one of New South Wales’ longest-running events — founded by locals and known as the 3rd oldest fun-run in the state — held each year in the heart of Tamworth’s running community.

Once starting from outside the Town Hall, down Peel Street, across three highway crossings and back to No 1 Oval, the 1974 course became legendary for its hills and twists. Today’s flatter layout still draws Australia’s elite runners and everyday participants alike.

With distance options from a 6 km community walk, a 5 km fun run, a 10 km challenge, right up to a half-marathon and full marathon, there’s a place for runners of every level.

Join us and embrace the legacy — and the thrill — of this much loved North West NSW running festival.
