Running For A Cure 2026

Welcome to our 2026 self supported official 42.195km marathon series run between various jetties along the Adelaide coast.

(This event replaces our Coastal 42 Series event from previous years)

A six part series of marathons run along the coastal path between six different jetties.

The runs will be an out and back several times. The runs will be modified slightly to ensure each lap is 10.55kms.

Run one or multiple events of choice or run all six marathons in the series. Series medal on offer to anyone who completes all six.

**Half marathon option also available in this series of events.

Your race bib and finisher medals are collected at each check-in and race briefing. Being self-supported there is no requirement for volunteer assistance, Therefore no cut-off times so you can enjoy a relaxed stress free journey.

**You will need to record your own run on Strava or the like showing "elapsed time" not "moving time" and then post a link on the event page (or send an email) so we can record all results online. If this is not recorded and passed onto coastalfunruns you will not be included in the final results.

As well as individual medals for each run completed, there is the series medal for anyone completing all six runs as well as some special category medals (to be announced)

Further details to follow including exact courses and dates. All runs will start at 7:00am SHARP.

Event email with all relevant details is sent to all registered runners in the week leading up to race day. Registration closes noon 3 days before each event date (unless extended). If you register during the registration extension if it happens, then you may receive a generic finisher medal in place of the fully engraved event medal. Every runner/walker receives a finisher medal for every distance at every event.

Thankyou for your support of our coastalfunruns events.

Part proceeds to the ACRF to help #endcancer.

“The original low cost, low key coastal fun running

community event series in South Australia”

Welcome to the 10th year of our original popular multi-day running challenge.

This year the Coastal 5 has been modified from a 5 day consecutive event to include just the 2 dates a few months apart. Day 1 on Sat Aug 22nd & Day 2 on Sun Oct 11th.

The event will revert back to our original event distance of only the 42.2km marathon distance on our AIMS measured Semaphore South spartan course.

Due to having difficulty finding volunteer support this event will now be a totally self supported event. (This means finisher medals and race bibs will be handed out before the event at the race briefing. You will need to record your run on Strava or the like showing "elapsed" time and pass onto coastalfunruns to be included in official online results).

42.2km - one day - $35

42.2km - both days - $60

Race Bib & Finisher Medal included in registration price.

A 7:00am Start for both days with Check - In from 6:15am with Race briefing and group photo at 6:45am.

The event is 100 marathon club approved and is run on an AIMS measured course along the coast starting from Semaphore.

Part proceeds to our nominated charity ACRF to help #endcancer.

Event email with all relevant details will be sent to all registered participants once registration is due to close a few days before the event date.
