Yeppoon Running Festival
#YRF2024

The Yeppoon Running Festival is just 7 weeks away, have you registered?

The Yeppoon Running Festival has five fun run categories you can register for. Why not register for one today!

With the predicted temperature set to be a cool 23 degrees, the Yeppoon Running Festival is the place to be on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 July.

We’ve done around 3 Yeppoon Running Festivals. Five km runs with a pram in tow, 1.6km shuffles with kids and a solo 5km slow and steady run.

This year to be accountable, we early bird registered for the CQ Radiology 10km. The logic was, that would give us something to work towards. We did the same thing for the Rocky River Run last month and we’re pleased to say we made it through 21.2kms of pavement and bridges.

Why not set a distance goal, put your sneakers on each week, practice your distances, record your times and watch your progress over the 7 weeks.

There are lots of registration categories to choose from including;
