16 weeks and 3 days

The Lake Macquarie Half Marathon began in 1984. 2020 sees the 37th consecutive running of the event. The event had over 2800 competitors last year.

In 2010 the event was renamed the 'Lake Macquarie Running Festival' to embrace to growing nature of the event which was expanded to include a 10.5km Fun Run and 4km Kids Scamper.

The festival is positioned within the running calendar to take advantage of the Sydney Marathon that will be held a few weeks later and Sydney’s City To Surf held a few weeks prior.
