The Weipa Running Festival will be hosting its 9th Annual event on Sunday 26th July 2026 at the Andoom Oval Showgrounds. We welcome back all our usual events, the 42km, 21km (plus some), 10km, 5km and the 2.5km and the virtual series for those that cant attend on race day. Relay team options for those who are wanting a little extra connection or enjoy the friendly competitive spirit!

Free Yoga & course familiarization runs along with the ever competitive Mission Team event.

The virtual series runs for 2 weeks prior to the festival which brings a buzz to the town in the lead up.

Registrations open February 2026 on all events.

Our Mission: The mission of Weipa Running Festival is to run a family friendly community event with key focuses on – the benefits of physical activity, mental health & wellbeing – showcasing Weipa to the national running community. At a time when mental and physical health prioritization is paramount we hope that our event can offer our community a challenge that creates good active habits that will continue well past race day.

Weipa Running Festival is a non-for-profit organisation run by a small but passionate volunteer committee. Our success and reputation of offering a quality unique event has continued to strengthen each year and we hope you join us in 2026 for an unforgettable run!
