The event’s history dates back to 1997 when it was started by Laurie Black who, who for 14 years, served as the event coordinator. Back then, it was held at the end of Cutty Sark Road. In 2008 and many years after, the coordinators experimented with a change of location, though these are now held at the hall.

Coronet Bay Fun Run has continued to grow in popularity. By 2012, they devised a new tallying system which featured a more streamlined way of tracking results. There are also now more awards that are given to winners.

For a small fee, participants can join the fun run. The fees go to financing the basic operational costs of the event, while donations in kind help the coordinators fund other gifts, including prizes and medallions. Entry fees also help pay for food and giveaways, and any remaining balance left is used to contribute to the facilities around Coronet Bay.

Prammers and walkers are welcome to join the 3km section, though advanced runners are encouraged to apply for the 5km. During the event, delicious food and refreshments will be made available. Awards are given to the first 3 winners in 6 categories.
