The 2026 Bouddi Coastal Run is nearly here! We are excited to welcome everyone back to beautiful Killcare Beach to tackle the trails through Bouddi National Park. Best of luck with your last couple of weeks of training (or tapering) and we look forward to seeing you on the start line. Please make sure you read through the Event Program and other important details below. And don’t forget to check out the great offers from our event sponsors
EVENT PROGRAM
The Event Program is now available with information on all race distances, including the event schedule, location, parking, registration, rules and aid station information. Make sure you have a good read of the entire event program well before race day by clicking the button above.
Please note the race day schedule – we are starting 30min earlier than previous years!
RACE BIBS
Race bibs will be available for collection from the rego tents on race morning from 7.00am. Race numbers will be emailed out on Thursday 5th November with the Event Safety Briefing video.
PARKING
Please be aware that parking is limited in Killcare where the event start/finish is located and carpooling with your fellow runners is highly recommended. Traffic Controllers will be on site on race morning directing cars to the nearest available parking location. Please continue driving until you reach the traffic controllers to ensure the most efficient use of available space.
SHUTTLE BUS
Instead of driving why not make use of the event shuttle bus service from Woy Woy Train Station? Bus shuttles to the start line will run between 6:45am and 7:05am and will allow runners time to complete registration prior to race start. Any 21km runners who arrive via train and catch the 7:05am shuttle will have access to a priority registration line for fast bib collection. Bus tickets are $6 and must be pre-booked via your MyEvents Registration Portal – find your Bouddi Coastal Run entry and add a shuttle bus seat in the merchandise tab.
MANDATORY GEAR
Remember it is mandatory that all runners carry with them a minimum 500mL water bottle or hydration pack (or similar) to refill at the aid stations out on course. This is the minimum requirement – more is recommended! It can be very hot on event day and some sections are quite exposed and will feel warmer than forecast.
Mandatory gear will be checked prior to race start, runners without 500mL of fluids will not be permitted to start.
As always our event is CUP FREE – there will be no cups at the aid stations. Soft flasks and collapsible cups will be available for sale at registration for those who need them.
No other mandatory gear is required however we recommend all runners carry a mobile phone, basic first aid supplies and clothing suited to race day conditions.
HEADPHONES & MUSIC
There are sections of the course where runners will be travelling in both directions on single track, and a section on the road. If you choose to listen to music during the event, please ensure you are able to hear runners around you. We suggest listening at a low volume or by using one earbud only.
For safety reasons, you MUST remove headphone/earbuds at the following locations to ensure you can hear instructions:
- When you see a staff member or course marshal
- When running on Mt Bouddi Road and Grahame Drive
