Overview

🍌 Introducing the Guzman Y Gomez Banana Run – Coffs Harbour’s Freshest Running Festival! 🏃‍♂️🌊

Get ready to peel out your running shoes and join us on January 31, 2026, for the inaugural Guzman Y Gomez Banana Run in beautiful Coffs Harbour! Choose from 10km, 5km, or 2km distances, all starting and finishing at the iconic Coffs Harbour Jetty. Experience the stunning coastal scenery as you run alongside the sparkling waters of the Jetty Foreshores and Jordan Esplanade.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just in it for fun, the Banana Run offers a flat, scenic course perfect for all ages and abilities. Don’t miss this a-peeling event that combines fitness, fun, and the vibrant spirit of Coffs Harbour!

Pins are so last season.

From now on, it’s snap on, race on. Elite Energy will be pin-free by 2026 – because we’re serious about reducing waste.

• Grab a set of BibSnaps during your entry or online.
• Or pick some up at the event.
• Or bring your own pins ( if you must… but we know you can do better ).

They’re reusable, easy to use, and built to go the distance.
Do the planet a favour – snap to it.
