Runners of all ages, fitness levels, and experience will love the fast and flat course along the banks of the Swan River, finishing with a big finale at the Stadium.

The marathon course promises to be amazing for competitive distance runners or first-time marathon runners looking for a challenge, not to mention a memorable finish at Optus Stadium. The marathon course is possibly the most beautiful course in the world and should not be missed in 2021.
