Brisbane Marathon Festival

Brisbane's marathon runners are set to take on a scenic journey through the heart of Queensland’s capital city. On June 6, 2027, participants will gather at the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens for race day festivities and the start line. The expo village, bustling with energy from running clubs, corporate teams, sponsors, and partners, offers runners an opportunity to soak in pre-race excitement.
The marathon course itself is a one-lap route that showcases some of Brisbane’s most iconic landmarks. Runners will begin their journey through the city center before crossing under the historic Story Bridge, which looms large against the skyline. The race continues along Kangaroo Point Cliffs, offering breathtaking views over the Brisbane River and the surrounding urban landscape.
As participants make their way to New Farm, they'll be treated to vibrant entertainment spots dotted throughout the course, adding an extra layer of excitement for both runners and spectators alike. After completing the challenging yet rewarding circuit, athletes will return to the Botanic Gardens where post-race activities await, providing a perfect setting to unwind and celebrate with fellow competitors.
This event promises not only competitive racing but also an engaging atmosphere that highlights Brisbane’s unique charm and natural beauty.
