SATURDAY 5 SEPTEMBER 2026

THE PERFECT EXCUSE TO VISIT

The first edition of  Run Port Douglas was a huge success and we look forward to welcoming thousands of runners from around Australia and across the globe in 2026. The run is the perfect excuse to visit and explore Tropical North Queensland. The revised 21.1km Half Marathon course is now 1 continuous lap, starting in front of the Mirage Country Club and finishing on Four Mile Beach. Ambassador Andy Buchanan now rates our Half Marathon course as the best in the world!

The 2km, 5km, 10km and 21.1km Half Marathon courses all finish on the famous Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas and will be held on Saturday 5 September 2026. All distances will be timed, so you can choose to challenge yourself for a best time, or take the time to soak in the beautiful surroundings. Stop to take photos, enjoy the experience with family and friends, dress up to win some awesome prizes and most importantly, have fun.

The Run Port Douglas courses will take you through the beautiful town of Port Douglas, with all distances finishing with a run/walk along the sands of Four Mile Beach. There is no other finish line like it anywhere in the world!
