BRISBANE MARATHON FESTIVAL 2027

The Brisbane Marathon Festival returns on 6 June 2027, inviting runners from around the world to experience Australia’s sunny, riverside capital on foot.

In 2027, the festival unveils a brand-new single lap marathon course. Replacing the previous multi-lap format, the new course takes runners on a true journey through Brisbane, showcasing the city’s landmarks, river views and vibrant neighbourhoods in one unforgettable run. The half marathon course has also been redesigned, offering a fresh route for first-time and returning participants.

Held in the middle of the Australian winter, the festival offers ideal running conditions, with [mild, sunny days and cool mornings] while much of the Northern Hemisphere endures summer heat. It’s a perfect chance to chase a personal best, tick off a new country on the race calendar, or take on a bucket-list marathon.

Brisbane is also an easy destination to build a trip around. Direct international flights connect the city to Asia, North America, the Pacific and beyond. Beyond race day, visitors can enjoy the city’s riverside dining, cultural precincts and relaxed outdoor lifestyle, with Moreton Bay, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and the Great Barrier Reef all within easy reach.

As the host city of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2032, Brisbane is a city on the rise. Runners who join the festival now can experience the city as it builds towards one of the world’s greatest sporting events.

The festival caters to every ability, with a Marathon, Half Marathon, 10km, 5km and a family-friendly 2km event, making it easy to bring friends and family along for the journey.
