About This Race
The ASICS Gold Coast Marathon is Australia's premier marathon event and one of the flattest, fastest courses in the world. Now in its 46th year, the race features 29km of beachside running along the stunning Gold Coast coastline. Starting and finishing at Broadwater Parklands in Southport, runners travel south to Miami before heading north along to Runaway Bay. With minimal elevation of just 62 meters, it is a favorite for runners chasing personal bests and Boston qualifying times. The two-day festival includes a marathon, half marathon, 10km, 5km, Junior Dash, and the unique 63.3km Double challenge.
