Hobart Marathon
Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
The Hobart Marathon follows the River Derwent waterfront, passing Salamanca Place and the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens on a course of repeated loops. Roads and paved paths keep runners close to the city, while the rolling hills require some restraint with the early pace. Supporters should find the repeated passes useful. Entry is online with staged pricing; the 2027 race has a 6 am start and a minimum age of 17. Its detailed route map is still to follow.
