Sydney Frontrunners Return to the Carcoar Running Festival
Sydney Frontrunners will be heading back to the Carcoar Running Festival over the weekend of 6-8 November 2026.
All festival races take place on Sunday morning, with distances available to suit everyone:
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
- 10km
- 6km
We recommend arriving on Friday evening and joining the group for dinner at the local hotel. This gives you the chance to spend Saturday exploring the beautiful Carcoar region before enjoying the festival's popular Charity Pasta Party in the evening (bookable through the event organisers).
After race day, there will be plenty of time to relax at the finish area, cheer on fellow runners, hopefully see some Frontrunners collecting prizes, enjoy a coffee or lunch, and then make the trip back to Sydney.
Accommodation
We strongly recommend staying in Carcoar itself, although accommodation options are limited.
To help members, we have reserved:
The hotel is a basic and affordable option.
Of course, you're welcome to arrange your own accommodation. Blayney, which is only a short drive away, has a wider range of lodging options.
