Gold Coast Running Festival

Thanks for being patient with us while we work through our processes to secure new arrangements for this years 7 News Gold Coast Running Festival presented by Remax, scheduled to take place on April 26th 2020 – we have been overwhelmed with how supportive our running community has been, in what has been the most challenging time we have faced as a business.
The April event is not going ahead as planned and we have an alternate date of 6 September 2020 booked which is currently being subject to the usual approval processes.
For those runners that had already registered for the April 26th 2020 event, we have emailed you to confirm you have been automatically moved to the 6 September 2020 date and there is nothing you need to do. If September is not suitable, please email on info@theeventcrew.com.au and we can move you in to the 18 April 2021 event.

We know you’ve been wondering what is happening with the upcoming 7 News Gold Coast Running Festival which was scheduled to happen on 26 April 2020.⠀ ⠀ Due to the government advisory issued yesterday, our event will not go ahead on it's original date. We are currently working towards securing a new date and are in discussions with the venue and local councils and governing bodies to have this finalised.⠀ ⠀ Once this new date is finalised, all registered participants will be automatically transferred to the rescheduled date and in the event that the new date doesn’t suit, the option will be given to participants to join in on any other The Event Crew event in the next season. If you have a current entry, you will have received an email in the last 10 minutes confirming these options - please email us on info@theeventcrew.com.au if you have not received this.⠀ ⠀ We know a lot of people will be disappointed that these events are not going ahead as planned (as are we!) however we want to make sure we prioritise the health and safety of not only you as our participants, but the wider community we impact including staff, contractors, suppliers, officials, volunteers, medical, water safety , venues staff, traffic control and police.⠀ ⠀ We appreciate all the support and understanding everyone has offered, we're certainly faced with some strange and unprecedented times!

Update #2: Friday 13 March⠀ ⠀ Hi everyone,⠀ ⠀ As you’re all aware the situation with COVID-19 is evolving rapidly and the landscape for events has changed considerably within the last thirty minutes after the Prime Ministers national address.⠀ ⠀ We have taken the measure of putting a hold on taking any additional entries at this stage for our remaining events and we will issue a full position statement on Monday after the government directive is handed down on Sunday afternoon.⠀ ⠀ Please rest assured we will look after you, we just don’t have the admin processes in place today to deal with refunds and transfers (yes, you will be given the option a transfer or refund for cancelled events should you wish).⠀ ⠀ Stay well and healthy guys and look after each other. ⠀ ⠀ Best regards,⠀ ⠀ Brendon, Heath, Chelsea, Nikki, Nathan, Sally and Donna Update #2: Friday 13 March⠀ ⠀ Hi everyone,⠀ ⠀ As you’re all aware the situation with COVID-19 is evolving rapidly and the landscape for events has changed considerably within the last thirty minutes after the Prime Ministers national address.⠀ ⠀ We have taken the measure of putting a hold on taking any additional entries at this stage for our remaining events and we will issue a full position statement on Monday after the government directive is handed down on Sunday afternoon.⠀ ⠀ Please rest assured we will look after you, we just don’t have the admin processes in place today to deal with refunds and transfers (yes, you will be given the option a transfer or refund for cancelled events should you wish).⠀ ⠀ Stay well and healthy guys and look after each other. ⠀ ⠀ Best regards,⠀ ⠀ Brendon, Heath, Chelsea, Nikki, Nathan, Sally and Donna
