Event Description

Join us for one of the Hunter’s most iconic community events – The Athlete’s Foot Fernleigh 15. Covering 15km along the stunning Fernleigh Track, this point-to-point course weaves through the natural beauty of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. On the day we also have the Fernleigh 1500 – a 1500m race for kids to be a part of the race day action.

Starting in Adamstown and finishing in Belmont, the course is completely closed to the public – giving you the rare opportunity to enjoy the track like never before. Shuttle buses will be available at the finish line to take you back to the start.
