The iconic Beach2Beach Charity Fun Run is set to reach new heights in 2025 with the launch of its first-ever Half Marathon – which will be one of the most picturesque in Australia.
Australia’s most scenic fun run for charity is held right here on the Beaches every year. This year however, for the very first time, Beach2Beach runners will have the chance to tackle 21.09 km of our stunning coastal views in a Half Marathon.
Scheduled for Sunday, August 24, 2025, the new Beach2Beach Half Marathon will complement the existing 3km, 6km, and 14km courses, providing a thrilling new challenge for seasoned runners while maintaining the event’s fun and inclusive atmosphere.
“We’re thrilled to introduce the Half Marathon to Beach2Beach,” says Race Director Phil Jackson. “This new distance caters to experienced runners looking to push their limits while enjoying the breathtaking backdrop of Sydney’s Northern Beaches.”
Race Director Robert van Geest also emphasized the community impact of the event: “With the rising popularity of running, we saw an opportunity to expand Beach2Beach, not just for the thrill of competition but also to increase the funds we raise to support local charities and community programs.”
The event is more than just a run—it’s a movement for good. As the largest charity fun run, the event has raised millions of dollars for local charities, schools, and community groups. Organised by Rotary Club of Warringah, all proceeds from the 2025 event will continue to fund vital programs that make a real difference to those in need. It’s also the perfect opportunity to get active and connect with the rest of the local community – with the run set to take place in August of this year , there’s plenty of time to prepare and train for this special event.
Rally your family, your friends, or team up with colleagues.
“Whether you choose to run, walk, or stroll, the journey is just as rewarding as the destination. Celebrate your achievement at the Finish Festival, featuring live music, delicious food, and entertainment for the kids. Why wait, enter now!”
