Marathon de Brisbane

The Brisbane Marathon is a road-running event held in June in Brisbane, Queensland. The full marathon heads a program that also features a half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, walking events, and a 2 km race for children. The event is part of the Brisbane Marathon Festival, currently named EVA Air, and attracts participants from Australia and abroad. It caters to a diverse group: dedicated marathoners, club runners, walkers, families, and those seeking a shorter city run participate on the same festival day. The marathon begins on Colchester Street and concludes at Riverstage, keeping the course within central Brisbane. The route incorporates key city landmarks such as the Story Bridge, Kangaroo Point, and South Bank Parklands, largely following the river's urban edge. Participants assemble in the city near sunrise, and the June date aligns with Brisbane’s subtropical winter, offering typically mild conditions compared to the warmer seasons.
