MAKE THIS YOUR

FASTEST WINTER YET

The marathon covers 42.2km over four flat, fast laps along the Cairns Esplanade and surrounding streets. 

The early start begins before sunrise, timing the runners return back to Cairns Esplanade just as the sun breaks over the water. The multi-lap course brings runners back through familiar parts of the course several times. That means more opportunities to see family and friends, more crowd support and more chances to check progress against the clock.

 The course is AIMS certified and is a Boston Qualifier event.
