About the race
Run The Maine is the 18th edition of a road and trail running event held at Camp Reserve, Castlemaine, VIC, Australia on 25 September 2026. The event program includes three timed distances that use local landscapes and established trails.
The event features a point-to-point Half Marathon from Maldon to Castlemaine that follows the historic Goldfields Steam Train route on fire trails and paths through dense woodland and open paddocks. The 10 km course, called the Walmer Forest Loop, runs through forested terrain, follows two creeks at either end, and includes a steady climb out of Castlemaine before rejoining the half marathon route into town. The 5 km Botanical Gardens Return is an almost flat out-and-back route within Castlemaine’s historic botanical gardens.
Multiple entry categories and price tiers are listed, including standard, early bird, super early bird, concession and under‑16 rates for each distance. Merchandise can be purchased separately for volunteers. The event webpage lists a local organiser contact and provides a link to the event website and a map location for Camp Reserve, Castlemaine.
