ASICS Gold Coast Marathon

The Gold Coast Marathon is Australia’s top-tier road race, certified with World Athletics Label status and recognized for its flat, coastal course built for speed. Held each July, the event draws elite international athletes and thousands of serious runners aiming for personal bests or qualifiers. The course runs along the Gold Coast’s surf-lined streets, offering clear ocean views and fast pavement. Energy peaks around key spectator zones in Surfers Paradise and Burleigh Heads, with organized cheer squads and live music. Since 1979, the event has grown into a weekend-long festival with multiple race distances and a packed pre-race expo.
