The excitement is building with only 150 days to go until the 4th edition of the Port Douglas Gran Fondo Festival which will be held September 12-14th 2025.
Festival Director Bade Stapleton was excited to announce a new Gold Partnership with the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Port Douglas.
“Our new RUN PORT DOUGLAS event is an awesome new addition to the event program this year and the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Port Douglas are an important partner in helping bring this event to life,” Mr Stapleton said.
“The RUN PORT DOUGLAS 5km and 2km events will take runners through the Sheraton, passing the spectacular resort pools as they head towards Four Mile Beach and the run down to the finish. This event simply couldn’t happen without them!”
RUN PORT DOUGLAS is a new addition to the Port Douglas Gran Fondo Festival in 2025 and includes a 21.1km Half Marathon and 10km, 5km and 2km run events on Saturday 13th September.
Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Port Douglas general manager Steve Molnar said the resort was pleased to be a Gold Parner for this year’s festival.
“This event is a fantastic visitor and community opportunity to showcase the beauty and vibrancy of our region. The new RUN PORT DOUGLAS event will offer participants a unique gathering experience, running through our stunning resort and along the iconic Four Mile Beach. We look forward to welcoming runners and spectators to the resort and supporting this exciting addition to the festival,” Mr Molnar said.
Douglas Shire Council Deputy Mayor Roy Zammataro said the event continues to go from strength to strength.
“The addition of the new RUN PORT DOUGLAS event will bring even more energy and visitors to our beautiful region. It’s a great opportunity to showcase the natural beauty of the Douglas Shire while supporting local businesses and encouraging active, healthy lifestyles,” Cr Zammataro said.
