Darwin Running Events

Darwin runs to the rhythm of the dry season - from May to September, when the humidity drops and the Top End turns on perfect mornings, the running calendar comes alive. Races trace the Esplanade, East Point and the harbour foreshore, often finishing under a famous Darwin sunset.

Whether you're after a first 5km fun run, a foreshore 10km, a half marathon or the full marathon, filter the calendar below by distance, date or suburb. Looking beyond the city? Northern Territory fun runs covers the Red Centre and the Outback.
