2 running events in Hervey Bay, Queensland

Join us for the inaugural Hervey Bay Half Marathon!

With distances of 21km, 10km, 5km, and 2km, there's an event suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Lace up, get involved, and enjoy a great day out!

From the wide, golden beaches of Hervey Bay to the heritage streets of Maryborough, our region offers an unrivalled blend of natural beauty, vibrant communities and genuine hospitality. With the Great Sandy Strait and K’gari (Fraser Island) on our doorstep, the Fraser Coast is already recognised as a world-class destination – and now we are proud to add world-class running to that list.

Council is delighted to be a major sponsor of the Hervey Bay Half Marathon. Events like this bring people together, promote healthy and active lifestyles, and create memorable experiences for competitors and spectators alike. I thank the organisers, volunteers, sponsors and residents who have helped bring the event to life and who are warmly welcoming visitors into our community.

Whether you are here chasing a personal best, supporting friends and family, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, I encourage you to take time to explore all the Fraser Coast has to offer. On behalf of our community, I wish you every success and a truly unforgettable race day.

Mayor George Seymour

Fraser Coast Regional Council
