The Wollongong Running Festival is a family-friendly race weekend on the Illawarra coast of New South Wales, held on a Sunday in early June. The half marathon is a two-loop course that starts and finishes on Marine Drive at Lang Park, with ocean views, parkland and bushland on mixed terrain. Finishers receive a medal and a free tee, and the top three men and women win prize money. The festival also has a 10km, a 5km fun run and a kids 2km fun run. Ericom has presented the half marathon in recent editions, and the festival has been branded Run Havoc for 2027.
