Southern Cross University 10km Run 2026

The Southern Cross University 10km Run is a 10-kilometre race held during the ASICS Gold Coast Marathon race weekend on Australia’s Gold Coast. It offers participants a shorter road-race option within the same program as the marathon, wheelchair marathon, half marathon, 5km races, junior dash, and the Gold Coast Double. The broader Gold Coast Marathon event holds World Athletics Label Road Race status, placing the 10km within a professionally managed festival rather than a local fun run. Participants are assigned to start zones. The event includes aid stations, personal refreshment options, medical support, transport details, pace runners, and finish-line cameras. The field accommodates a wide range of participants: those aiming for age-category or prize records, charity runners, team entries, and everyday runners choosing the Gold Coast weekend for a manageable race distance. The race also links to the event’s additional offerings, such as merchandise, finisher rewards, photos, live streams, spectator and entertainment areas, training resources, and a Legends Club connected to the wider Gold Coast Marathon history.
