The Coonawarra Running Festival is back again for 2026!
Whether you run, walk, wobble or cheer from the sidelines – this is YOUR event. All ages, all abilities, all welcome.
Join us on 7th November 2026 as we come together to raise vital funds and awareness for mental health in our region
Together, we’re making a real difference. Over the last four years, our incredible community and event have raised a whopping $108,000 for mental health research and programs right here in the Limestone Coast. That is something to be seriously proud of 
Those funds have helped launch a pilot Youth Mental Health Awareness Program, already delivered to students at Penola High School and Lucindale Area School – completely free of charge.
Our goal is simple: to give every high school student in our region access to these workshops, because mental health matters at every age 
None of this happens without YOU – our runners, walkers, volunteers, sponsors and supporters who show up year after year and make this event what it is.
Interested in sponsoring the 2026 event? We’d love to have you on board – get in touch with us today!
Run right through the vines — experience the stunning Coonawarra wine region, lush red gums and beautiful Limestone Coast countryside!
The fun doesn’t stop at the finish line! Celebrate your epic effort in the beautiful Coonawarra Memorial Park where the party is just getting started. Grab a well-earned bite to eat, browse the market stalls, groove to live music and soak up the family entertainment – there is something for absolutely everyone. It’s the perfect day out for the whole family, all while raising vital funds and awareness for mental health. What’s not to love?
