Come and Run Forster Tuncurry – 17th August 2025

Now in its 13th year, this event has grown significantly over the years to have close to 2,000 runners and walkers participating. Run Fest Forster Tuncurry has become a major regional event with local participation and a large number of travelers heading to Forster Tuncurry to indulge in our beautiful area. Through this partnership with Eire Constructions we’ll seek to continue the growth and firmly put Run Fest Forster – Tuncurry on the calendar as a destination event.

We now offer you another reason to get away for a perfect spring weekend and visit our beautiful town in the Great Lakes. Surrounded by ocean and the stunning Wallis Lake, you will make your way running over the Forster Tuncurry Bridge and along both break walls. This is one of the most picturesque run courses you will ever experience. All event course(s) take in the stunning foreshore areas of both towns and connecting bridge.

Whether you are an elite athlete, jogger or walker, there is an event for everyone. The event will be staged from Forster Main Beach area. Enjoy a family day out of fun and fitness where you can choose from the Kids 3km Fun Run, 5km Run, 10km Run and a Half Marathon. Alternatively, you can choose to take on the ultimate challenge: the “Treble Bridge Buster”. Not a runner? Team up with your friends and family and enjoy the beautiful 3km IMF #RunSweatInspire event.

Take your pick of events and join us in Forster Tuncurry this August. We generally have beautiful weather during for the running festival, which is perfect for a dip in the ocean after the run.

Up for the Buster in 2024, complete the Half Marathon + 10km and 5km events. The combined distance of the Buster is 36.1km and includes 10 runs over the iconic Forster Tuncurry Bridge. The Bridgell Buster is a fantastic challenge for the seasoned fun runner or a fantastic hit out if you are looking to step up to running marathon. In addition all finisher’s names will be added to the Treble Bridge Buster Honour Roll.
