Sunshine Coast Marathon Festival
The EVA Air Sunshine Coast Marathon is a running festival offering multiple distances including a marathon, half marathon, 10km, 5km, and 2km. The marathon course is a single-lap, predominantly flat route with coastal views, crossing the Sunshine Motorway Bridge twice, and is AIMS-certified.
August on the Sunshine Coast brings clear, mild days perfect for a long run along the coast, with the ocean breeze keeping things comfortable. After crossing the motorway bridge for those sweeping water views, reward yourself with a fresh seafood lunch in Mooloolaba or a coffee at a Mudjimba café. With the festival vibe in full swing and the promise of an Atlas Majors Medal on the horizon, it’s a weekend that blends scenic miles with easygoing coastal downtime.
