The Sunshine Coast Marathon & Community Run Festival is a great excuse to book in a winter holiday with a difference. Average day temps are in the mid 20s, there are distances for everyone, family entertainment, food, music and a sports expo. Join thousands of runners on the start line to experience one of Australia's most loved courses, plus raise money for dozens of charities and major beneficiaries. We've raised more than $1.6 million since 2012.

At the EVA Air Sunshine Coast Marathon Festival, hydration is key to performing at your best. That’s why we’ve partnered with NU Spring Water, our Official Water Partner, to help each athlete re-hydrate post run.

You’ll find NU Spring water waiting for you post-race to help you recover and celebrate your finish strong.

All bottles are made from 100% recycled plastic and are fully recyclable, so please dispose of them responsibly in the designated bins as we work together to reduce our environmental impact.

Plan ahead, stay fuelled, and we’ll take care of the rest! We're here to keep you moving!

Stay fuelled from start to finish 💧⚡️

There will be 16 Aid Stations positioned across the course, stocked with water and FIXX Nutrition Fuel X Tropical Electrolytes to help keep you moving strong all race long.

Marathon runners will also have access to Special Needs at selected aid stations for personal nutrition, drinks or race-day essentials.

Please help us keep the course clean by using the designated waste bins and litter zones ♻️
