Big Beach Challenge

The Big Beach Challenge is an iconic sand running event, held on one of the Newcastle region's most famous beaches.

Choose from the 15km, 6km or 3km run/walk courses. Each course follows a 3km loop featuring timing mats to record how many laps each participant has completed and their times.

For 15km participants, the event will take between 1.5 hours and 3 hours to complete depending on fitness levels. Some prepration for running in soft sand is recommended, as a 15km run through soft sand is more challenging than a 15km road run.
