2026 3 Bays Running Festival

Race Information

The 3-Bays Running Festival includes a marathon, half marathon, quarter marathon and a 60km trail ultra marathon.

The 60km ultramarathon is a spectacular coastal trail run along the Great South West Walk. It is almost all single track with some beach sections. The marathon is the event's oldest and most prestigious event, and one of the oldest road marathons in Victoria. The half marathon follows the second half of the marathon course and the quarter marathon was first held in 2017. If you're feeling really keen, run the 60km ultra on Saturday and pay a little extra to then run the marathon on Sunday, making a total of 102kms and earning the title of 'Hybrid Fool'.
