Townsville Airport Marathon
Townsville, Queensland, Australia
Townsville’s road marathon starts at Jezzine Barracks, takes two city loops past the marina and The Strand, then adds a longer section towards Pallarenda. Views towards Magnetic Island accompany a flat route on roads and paved coastal paths. Some sections share space with controlled traffic, making the race briefing worth a careful read. Entry is through the organiser when the next edition opens. A 2027 date is still to be confirmed here, so check before arranging travel.
