Run the Plains Moree 2026 returns to Moree, New South Wales on Friday, September 25th. The event is a regional running festival that has been celebrated in the community since its inception. The race begins at the intersection of Balo and Heber Streets, just steps from the heart of Moree's CBD (Central Business District). This location offers a scenic backdrop with the possibility to see local landmarks like the Artesian Spa Capital sign. The race atmosphere is vibrant; participants can expect the usual pre-race excitement, with runners gathering in the early morning hours before the start. This year marks the third edition of Run the Plains Moree, having grown in popularity since its first run. Over 1000 participants are expected to take part from various backgrounds and age groups, contributing significantly to the community spirit. The race benefits Gwydir Industries through donations collected during the Community K event. The course offers a mix of distances for all levels—ranging from 1K to 10K. Each distance category has its own unique charm: the B&W Rural 10km is known for its firm and slightly soft trail conditions, while the C&W Financial Services 3km provides a shorter but equally challenging route through Moree's streets.
