About Cleve Running Festival

Welcome to the Cleve Running Festival! Launched in 2024 by a passionate group of local runners and enthusiasts, this event was created to bring a high-quality running experience to the Eyre Peninsula. Participants can choose from three exciting race distances: a 21.1km half marathon, a 10km race, and a 5km fun run, along with a special kids dash, ensuring there's something for everyone. All races take place along the scenic Mangalo Road, which winds through the beautiful Cleve Hills and farmland, leading into Cleve and finishing at the Cleve Sporting Bodies. The inaugural event in 2024 was a tremendous success. The 2025 event built on this success with the addition of event Ambassador Tim Franklin. The 2026 event is looking to be just as fun and successful!
