Anytime Fitness Marathon
Key Information
The Anytime Fitness Marathon is an amazing new addition to the 2025 Coffs Harbour Running Festival.
Runners start by taking in the Coffs Creek Walkway and Botanic Gardens, then cross the closed Orlando Street bridge to reach the stunning Jetty Foreshores.
Spectacular scenery awaits as runners traverse the North Wall, Coffs Harbour Jetty and South Wall on their way out and return to the Coffs Harbour Jetty again coming back.
The course continues around to the Fisherman’s Co-op, crosses the Orlando Street bridge and heads back to the Showground along the gravel paths and boardwalks of the Coffs Creek Walkway to complete the first half of the marathon course.
