The Bay to Bay Running Festival 2023 was a hit with local and visiting runners last Sunday, June 18, with all four events being sold out to capacity, according to race organisers.
Thousands of runners set off from Woy Woy at 8am in glorious winter conditions for the traditional 12km event finishing at Gosford’s Industree Group Stadium.
Earlier in the morning hundreds of runners commenced the 21km half marathon which ran around Brisbane Water, also finishing at the stadium.
This year a 5km walk/run and a kids’ 2km run were held to add further options to the Central Coast’s own running festival.
Winners of the 12km were Leo Peterson who won the men’s event in 39 minutes and 2 seconds and Regina Jensen who took out the women’s event in 44 minutes and 17 seconds.
In the half marathon Claire Ashworth won the women’s division in 1 hour 20 minutes and 3 seconds while the men’s division was won by Scott Westcott in 1 hour 8 minutes and 57 seconds.
Winners of those events were awarded $1000 in prize money.

Another great event the Terrigal Trotters certainly do a good job with this fun run.
I have spoken to many of the local Central Coast runners and walkers who took part and they all say how much fun they had.
The winners are athletes who have trained well and deserve to results they have received.
Well done to all.
