Kangaroo Island Marathon 2026

Flinders Chase defines this race: road running on Kangaroo Island, with sea air, island coastlines, and national-park terrain speaking for themselves. The Kangaroo Island Marathon is described as “a bouncy race,” but the main draw is that “exceptional setting in the heart of Flinders Chase National Park,” a place where you’ll find yourself looking up often. The format is standard road racing, with several route options that share the same island-and-nature atmosphere instead of a big-city crowd. It accommodates runners of all levels, from those testing themselves on the shorter option to participants aiming for the longer distance. The unique aspect is the setting itself: a finish-line experience that begins with having run through Flinders Chase, not just completing another road race.
