Carcoar Running Festival

The Carcoar Cup Running Festival is a grand challenge on the Australian running calendar. Held in the first weekend of November in the historic Central West NSW town of Carcoar, the Carcoar Cup is a fantastic weekend for both runners and family. The Carcoar Cup was conceived to bring runners and visitors from all over Australia and overseas to showcase the beauty of Carcoar and the surrounding region.

The Carcoar Cup is run over a course that has been described as one of the toughest and most beautiful in Australia. This is the ultimate family running weekend, with events for all abilities and ages. For a small regional event the Carcoar Cup prize money is huge – AUD12,000 – but this is the ultimate family event, with adults tackling the longer events and the children their own special Carcoar race.

There are also many other activities organised around Carcoar over the weekend including exhibitions, displays and stalls. And with so many other attractions available around the region, why not make a weekend – or even an extended holiday – out of your time at the Carcoar Cup in 2024?

Regular updates about the event will be posted on the Carcoar Cup Facebook Page.
