Event Overview
The Bouddi Coastal Run is held in Killcare on the NSW Central Coast on 7 November 2026. The event offers two main race options—21km and 14km—plus a 1km Kids Beach Run for children aged 5 to 12. Set within Bouddi National Park, it’s positioned as a shorter-format trail event that can still feel demanding, with a course layout designed around varied coastal and bushland sections.
What the Course Demands
Both the 21km and 14km courses combine meaningful climbing with frequent changes in rhythm. The 21km lists around +/-775m elevation and includes three marshalled aid stations, while the 14km lists around +/-410m elevation with one aid station. Runners should expect the effort to fluctuate across technical-feeling segments and more runnable stretches, which can influence pacing and footwork over the full distance.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners who enjoy undulating coastal routes and are comfortable managing sustained climbs within a relatively compact distance. The 14km can work well for runners stepping up from shorter events, while the 21km is better suited to athletes looking for a tougher half-marathon-length challenge. The 1km Kids Beach Run is appropriate for younger runners wanting a simple race-day experience.
