Key Facts

Standouts

---

Flat, fast AIMS-certified multi-loop course along The Strand and toward Pallarenda with Coral Sea views to Magnetic Island, starting and finishing at Jezzine Barracks parkland. The marathon starts at 4:45am to beat the heat and has a 7-hour time limit.

Why attend here

August in Townsville is the heart of the dry season, so you'll run under clear skies along The Strand with the Coral Sea on one side and Magnetic Island on the horizon. After the race, cool off with a dip at the Strand's rock pools, wander the stalls at the Cotters Market for local produce, and reward yourself with a fresh barramundi at one of the waterfront eateries.
