The Canberra Marathon Festival offers five events over one weekend, including the marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, and Kids Dash. The marathon is Australia's oldest marathon and the courses are AIMS-certified, featuring iconic landmarks at every turn. The race runs through the heart of Australia's capital on closed roads.

Why attend here

Autumn in Canberra brings crisp, golden days perfect for a 42k through the capital's wide, tree-lined boulevards, with closed roads letting you take in Parliament House and Lake Burley Griffin up close. After the finish, wander the National Gallery's sculpture garden or warm up with a flat white at a Braddon café, then celebrate with a hearty meal at one of the city's famed restaurants.
