Join us on Sunday, the 15th of March 2026 for the Orange Running Festival and enjoy a weekend away in the renowned food and wine region of Orange in Central West NSW.
The festival caters for all ages and abilities with a distance for everyone.
Sunday begins with our distance program consisting of the 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and Marathon along a scenic, all sealed, gently undulating course in the cool climate of Orange.
Starting at 11am, we feature our Mile events – Primary School Dash (K-6), Secondary School Dash (7-12), plus the Orange Community Mile.
Our Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K courses have been World Athletics/AIMS certified and are eligible for earning ranking points, and for championships and events requiring qualification times.
Orange Running Festival supports several community organisations in the Orange area, including the RFS, Scouts, Cycling without Age and local schools. These organisations also help make the event a success each year by volunteering their service.
