Year one, raced and done. Thank you for coming.

The first Kahawai Point Coastal Classic ran on Sunday 4 October 2026, over the farm tracks, native bush, and coastline of Kahawai Point, Glenbrook. An 8km Coastal Classic, a 5km Kids Run, and a 5km Community Walk, with the inaugural tee for every finisher.

All three distances were chip timed, so everyone who crossed the line has a time.

Presented in partnership with Kahawai Point. Thank you to Surf Life Saving Kariaotahi for marshalling the course, and to everyone who turned up for year one.
