Wind Impact on Race Day

The wind figure is a historical race-week statistic, not a race-day headwind forecast. Check the forecast direction and exposed sections, then use your running pace and wind direction in the wind calculator; this number alone cannot determine a seconds-per-kilometre penalty.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the marathon start?

Sunday 19 September 2027 at 7am. The marathon start location is still listed as details to come; the finish is Steampacket Gardens on Eastern Beach Road.

What are the full-marathon fees?

Early bird is A$200 from 1–30 November 2026. First release is A$215 from December to March, A$230 from April through August, and A$245 from 1–17 September 2027. Race Roster says mandatory charges are included.

What is the time limit?

The official full-marathon limit is 6 hours 40 minutes. That requires approximately 9:29/km on average; allow for stops and any intermediate restrictions in the final guide.

Is the course certified and what route will it use?

The organizer states World Athletics certification and AIMS recognition. The final 2027 start and route details are still pending; a linked map labelled 2026 does not establish the 2027 loop count.

What should I check when travelling from Melbourne?

Check the final start location and race-morning transport before committing to a same-day transfer. A 7am gun means the usual daytime trip is not enough to establish whether public transport will get you there in time.
