We’ve come a long way since 1994, when we organised our first event – the Maitland Triathlon. As a fitness-conscious family of five, we wanted to welcome more people, regardless of age or ability, to enjoy the exhilaration of taking part. That’s how H Events was born.

Three decades later, we now run a packed calendar of events throughout Newcastle and the Hunter region – from fun runs to world-class marathons – attracting over 20,000 participants and three times as many spectators each year.

Our events include running, triathlon and open water swimming events that make for a fun and exciting goal to work towards on your next training journey. Our races include the Island Triathlon Festival, Lake Macquarie Triathlon Festival, Hill to Harbour, Henderson Newcastle Marathon, Maitland Running Festival, Winery Run, The Athlete's Foot Fernleigh 15 and Sparke Helmore Newcastle City Triathlon.

Our calendar of events enables everyone to be a winner. From first-time fun runners to professional athletes and para-athletes, our races are friendly, inclusive and organised with attention to every detail.

Every H Event is accredited and certified by a recognised organisation relevant to its category. This includes AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Distance Races) certification for all our marathons. All races are professionally timed by Multisport Australia, with live tracking available at every event.

We work closely with Triathlon Australia/NSW, Athletics NSW and AusCycling, and we stick to their standards and protocols to make sure every event is safe, fair and high quality.

In addition to producing and staging our own events, we also offer limited event production services to other organisations – from local councils to corporate clients – to help them deliver events that tick every box.
