Course Description

The RunHaven course follows the scenic banks of the Camden Haven River, winding through Laurieton's waterfront precinct and past iconic local landmarks. Runners enjoy flat, paved roads with gentle undulations, offering uninterrupted views of the river, the North Brother Mountain backdrop and the harbour as the sun dips below the horizon. The route is well‑marked and supported by volunteers, with water stations positioned at key points. Whether tackling the 21.1 km Half Marathon or the shorter 3 km family loop, the evening ambience and river breeze create a memorable, low‑impact running experience.

Getting There

The event starts at the Laurieton United Services Club, 2 Seymour St, Laurieton NSW. For parking, public transport and exact arrival recommendations, please refer to the official RunHaven website or contact the organisers.
