From Torquay’s Fisherman’s Beach foreshore, the route follows the Surf Coast Walk toward Fairhaven Surf Life Saving Club. The Surf Coast Trail Marathon is in its 12th edition, offering a trail feel without being remote, mountainous, or technical.
Expect runnable dirt, promenade sections, twists and turns, and views off Bells Beach, Point Addis, Anglesea, and Split Point lighthouse. Road runners can try trail for the first time, experienced trail runners can aim for a fast time, and running parents have the quirky team option with unequal halves, making the coin toss significant.
