This is Australia's oldest and largest single marathon. Besides the 42.2-kilometre jaunt, there is a 21.1-kilometre half marathon. Both are on the same course, which is relatively flat (minus a few rollers) and runs alongside the shoreline, providing pristine scenery as you are pounding away. Aid stations along the course keep you hydrated and if you finish you will receive a certificate and a medal. Race begins at Rod Laver Arena. Entry Fee: Marathon AUD110-130; Half-Marathon AUD75-95.
