After an incredible second year that saw Run Port Douglas grow from 1,500 to 2,500 runners, we’re getting ready to do it all again on Saturday 4 September 2027 – and we’re expecting our biggest year yet!

Welcoming runners from across Australia and around the world, Run Port Douglas is more than just a running event. It’s the perfect excuse to visit paradise, experience Tropical North Queensland and enjoy an unforgettable weekend in one of Australia’s most spectacular destinations.

Choose from the 2km Run/Walk, 5km, Pacific Toyota 10km or 21.1km Half Marathon, with every distance featuring something truly unique – a finish line on the sands of the world-famous Four Mile Beach.

And our Half Marathon is something very special. The spectacular one-lap course starts in front of the Mirage Country Club, takes runners through Port Douglas and finishes on Four Mile Beach. Olympian and Australian elite marathon runner Andy Buchanan rates it as the best Half Marathon course in the world!

Whether you’re chasing a PB, taking on your first running event, walking with family and friends or simply soaking up the incredible surroundings, Run Port Douglas is for everyone. All distances are timed, but how you experience the event is completely up to you.

Run it. Walk it. Race it. Dress up. Take photos. Bring your mates. Just have fun.

There’s no other finish line like it anywhere in the world.
