A NOTE FROM THE RACE DIRECTOR
Run Fest Port Macquarie celebrating 10 years in 2021

     Run Fest Port Macquarie has grown to become a major regional event with over 2,000 participants
     taking on the various events over the race weekend. Run Fest Port Macquarie serves as the 1st event to
     kick off the annual fun run calendar. The 2 day format provides various distances and challenges for the
     whole family plus an attractive short-stay getaway for the many tourists heading to Port Macquarie for
     the event.

     The event is staged in the stunning Town Green precinct with courses spanning from Settlement Point
     Road to Town Beach showing off our stunning foreshore areas. Take your pick from the events on offer
     and prepare to #RunHappy.

     Make a weekend of it! Kick off your Run Fest weekend on Saturday 6th March at our local parkrun
     events. Run Fest weekend will officially start at Midday with the Team Holborow Kids 3km fun
     runs. In 2021 the kids fun runs will be timed and split into age categories - start times from Midday –
     4pm. The festivities on the Saturday will conclude with the Indigenous Marathon Foundation 3km
     #RunSweatInspire. This also acts as the try outs for the IMP (Indigenous Marathon Project).

     If you’re up for the Buster in 2021, gunning for a PB, completing a new challenge or to simply just
     #RunHappy, we have 4 events to choose from on Sunday 7th March. Events on Sunday are Half
     Marathon, 10km and 5km. Alternatively, you can take on the Essential Energy Treble Breakwall
     Buster where you are challenged to complete the Half Marathon + 10km + 5km events. The combined
     distance of the Buster is 36.1km and includes 6 laps up and back along the iconic Port Macquarie
     Breakwall. The Breakwall Buster is a fantastic challenge for the seasoned fun runner or a fantastic hit out
     if you are looking to step up to running a marathon. In addition all finishers names will be added to the
     Treble Breakwall Buster Honour Roll.

     2020 was a tough year with wide scale event cancellations due to COVID-19, our event team is
     working to put on a safe and fun event for all to enjoy. Our motto for participants this year is to Prepare,
     #RunHappy and then Explore Greater Port Macquarie. We aim to put on an awesome event in a safe
     way that protects participants and our volunteer event crew whilst also giving our local economy the
     boost that it desperately needs.

     Thank you to our event partners and volunteer crew that support Run Fest Port Macquarie, without your
     support, events like this could not operate. To all those participating I wish you all the best of luck. If
     you’re visiting, I encourage you to stay, support local businesses and experience all that Greater Port
     Macquarie has to offer.

     Our event team is working hard to put on a safe and exciting Run Fest in celebrating our 10 year
     anniversary. Let’s #RunHappy in 2021.

EVENT INFORMATION #RUNHAPPY - P R - Port Macquarie and Forster Running Festivals
PREPARE #RUNHAPPY EXPLORE
Greater Port Macquarie

So you are “prepared” for race day, the team from Inspire Motion have put together training programs for each event
to get you to the start line mentally ready, injury free and physically prepared to run. These programs aim to keep you
on track and provide guidance as to what you should be thinking about as the race weekend approaches. Download
them from the bottom of the RunFest.com.au landing page... it’s never too late to start training!

Prepare to #RUNHAPPY
• Check out the event info at www.PortMacquarieRunningFestival.com.au
• Choose your event and complete your entry form
• Purchase your event merchandise. This will be available to collect with your race bib race weekend
• Like our Facebook page to get important updates
• Map out your training plan and set your goal to #RunHappy at #PMRF2021 - Don’t cram and leave your training till
  the last week
• Book your accommodation early

There may not be any high fives, you may need to grab your own water cup from the course drink station and
most definitely won’t be any post run hugs… but we won’t let that take the #RunHappy vibe away from the event.
Race weekend will be contactless wherever possible and measures will be in place to ensure that social distancing
is adhered to prior to starting your event, during and after crossing the finish line. Please ensure that you follow
instructions from our event crew and volunteers so we can ensure that #PMRF2021 is a safe event for all involved.
