Runaway Noosa Marathon, live.

Four flat laps between Noosa Heads and Noosaville

The Runaway Noosa Marathon is a flat lapped road race on the Noosa River, held on Saturday 22 May 2027.

The Runaway Noosa Marathon takes place on Saturday 22 May 2027 on Noosa Parade in Noosa Heads, Queensland. The marathon course is IAAF and AIMS certified and fully closed to traffic, with water and electrolyte stops roughly every 2.5 km.

The marathon starts at 6:15 on Noosa Parade. Runners cross the Garth Prowd Bridge and the Munna Point Bridge, follow Gympie Terrace along the Noosa River for about 1.5 km, cross the James Duke Bridge into Noosaville and turn on Hilton Esplanade, then come back to the eastern turn in front of the event village at Noosa Lions Park. Four laps make up the distance, and the overall cut-off is 6 hours. The half marathon starts at 6:30 and also finishes at Lions Park.

The 10 km starts at 9:15 and the 5 km run or walk at 10:15, both from Laguna Park on Noosa Parade. The 10 km is approved for racing wheelchairs and welcomes walkers, and the 5 km is family friendly with prams and non racing wheelchairs allowed. The marathon is not suitable for wheelchairs or prams because of the laps and tight corners, and its minimum age is 18.

The lapped course is easy to watch. The organiser points out that the four laps give supporters plenty of chances to see their runner, and live music keeps the route lively. Full road closures are in place along the course.

On Livebib you can follow a participant who chooses to share their own live position from the phone they carry. This is not the organiser's timing, and the official results come from the Runaway Noosa Marathon.
