Coffs Harbour is a major regional city on the North Coast of NSW, with a population of approximately 78,000 residents. Famously home to the "Big Banana," the city is a premier tourist destination known for its subtropical climate and marine parks. The demographic profile is primarily of Anglo-Australian descent (roughly 80%), with a notable Indigenous Gumbaynggirr community (approx. 5%). The median annual household income is roughly A$68,000. Geographically, the race course is centered at the Jetty Foreshores, offering calm ocean swimming protected by the marina walls and a scenic run along the coastal paths. The climate in early May is mild and pleasant; average temperatures range from 13°C to 22°C, providing near-ideal conditions for endurance sports.
Registration for the 2026 event follows a tiered release system, with the current second release cycle closing on April 17, 2026. Participants can compete as individuals or form teams, where a Team Captain initiates the entry and provides an access code for members. Beyond the competitive aspects, the "Banana Run" offers accessible distances for casual walkers and runners.
