The Run Havoc Wollongong Running Festival 2026 takes place on Sunday, 7 June 2026 at Lang Park, North Wollongong, NSW — with the start line on Harbour Street and the finish on Marine Drive. The event enters an exciting new chapter in 2026 with Race Hub Australia announced as the new event owner and delivery partner. First rebranded as the Wollongong Running Festival in 2021, it has since grown into Wollongong's largest running event, widely recognised for celebrating freedom of running and the city's active coastal culture.
Four distances suit every runner — from the ERICOM Half Marathon on its scenic 2-loop coastal course to the MMJ Real Estate Kids 2km Family Dash. All finishers receive a Wollongong-themed medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways and an online finisher's certificate. Half Marathon and 10km runners also score a free SA1NT t-shirt worth $70. The event supports two charities: Life Line Wollongong and the Mark Scott Trust.
