2019 Gold Coast Marathon

Held over one glorious weekend each year, the huge Gold Coast Marathon is one of Australia’s most sought-after marathons with a premier oceanfront circuit that boasts unmatched scenery, top running conditions and a festival-like atmosphere which all ages and abilities can enjoy. This year marks the Gold Coast Marathon’s 41st annual event, and after a successful 40th anniversary in 2018, the 2019 Gold Coast Marathon is all set up to be bigger, better and more exciting than ever before.

Get involved by taking part or spectating the action this July, which will see the highly anticipated return of the Gold Coast Marathon’s major annual events: the 42km Gold Coast Marathon, 21km Half Marathon, 10km Run, 5.7km Fun Run and the 4km Junior Dash. This ideal lineup of challenging and casual distances offers something for all, and a fantastic opportunity to get active against the backdrop of one of Queensland’s top holiday destinations.

Each distance will offer a flat circuit route passing the Gold Coast’s most famous landmarks and beaches – such as Main Beach, Surfers Paradise and Burleigh Heads – where crowd-lined streets will cheer and show their support to guide participants to the finish line. Whether you’re running or observing the action, the Gold Coast Marathon offers a spectacular atmosphere spread over one whole weekend, and this 2019, a majority of more than 25,000 people is once more expected to attend.

Get ready for the 2019 Gold Coast Marathon on Saturday, July 6 and Sunday, July 7.

2019 Kokoda Challenge Gold Coast

Just two weeks after the Gold Coast Marathon, don’t miss the chance to tick the Gold Coast Kokoda Challenge off your bucket list – a demanding 96km trek through the Gold Coast’s scenic hinterland.

Inspired by the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea, the Gold Coast Kokoda Challenge is a 15-year-old annual event grounded in values of courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice. The hike passes fire trails, creeks and elevations of 5,000 metres, making it Australia’s most gruelling cross-country bushwalk that poses the ultimate challenge for experienced hikers, bushwalkers and explorers.

Totalling at 96km, Kokoda Challenge Gold Coast extends over two days with a completion time of 39 hours. The trek begins Firth Park, Mudgeeraba, before embarking on an all-encompassing tour of the Gold Coast’s dense tropical hinterland. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience for dedicated trekkers and bushwalkers, and this 2019, it will be marking its 15th anniversary with the aim to raise funds for Australia’s youth.

Get prepped for Australia’s most challenging outdoor trail – the Gold Coast Kokoda Challenge 2019 will take place on Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 20.
