The 11th edition of Run The Maine begins a brand new chapter. Set in the heart of the Victorian Goldfields, we present a twilight event finishing under the lights at Castlemaine’s Camp Reserve.

Run one of our 3 brand new courses including:
An exclusive half marathon (21 km) from Maldon to Castlemaine via the Maldon to Castlemaine rail trail (participants take the Goldfields steam train out to the start line).

A challenging 10 km run out to Happy Valley & returning through the heart of Castlemaine

The Forest Creek return — a rewarding all abilities 5 km run or walk

The classic ‘Run Bird Run’ provides the curtain raiser for our rather special Bumper Ball Relay Race that’s guaranteed to be a spectacle.

How did I go?

Thank you for supporting this community event that raises much needed funds for our local hospital, Castlemaine Health. Over the last 10 years we have donated over $115k which the volunteer committee is very proud of. We look forward to adding to this which will benefit all members of our community.

Run the Maine is an expensive event to stage, however (aside from the ticket administration costs that Eventbrite take) we guarantee that 100% of your entry fee will go towards our nominated organisation. Without the wonderful generosity and support of our sponsors and volunteers this event would not be possible.
