Test yourself over the full 42.195km marathon distance in this epic Sunday morning event by completing two laps of our scenic Steve Moneghetti-designed 21.1km course. This course has it all: autumn colours, beautiful scenery and historic buildings. And for 2025 it's flatter, faster and more fun, with the uphill finish removed in favour of a u-turn on historic Lydiard Street.
