Capital to Coast is a weekend trail running event returning in 2026, held from Friday 28 August to Sunday 30 August. The event is organised by a committee of trail runners and is run as part of Canberra Runners.

The route runs from Canberra to the South Coast and comprises nine stages. The course includes a mix of trail, fire roads and single track. Stages published for the 2025 event are available and the organisers do not anticipate major changes for 2026.

The event website includes pages for entries, event rules and results. The event relies heavily on volunteers and the site lists volunteer options across stages.
