Welcome to the fourth annual gRUNt Gold Coast marathon!
Billed as the ONLY BEACH MARATHON to be staged on Queensland's breathtaking Gold Coast, the annual gRUNt Gold Coast run will see competitor's gruel it out in either a 42.2km full marathon, a 21.1km half marathon or 10km fun run.
Starting at the Southport Seaway rockwall, runners will head south between the Gold Coast's stunning skyline and the waters of the crystal clear Pacific Ocean just on sunrise - can you get a better view for a marathon!
Runners will pass their first hydration station at the 5km mark - for the 10km runners this is where you will u-turn and head back to the finish line, while our half and full marathon runners continue on south to the 10.5km checkpoint outside Kurrawa Surf Club. Once you are rehydrated at this checkpoint / hydration station, runners will head back to the seaway rockwall. For the half marathon runners, this will be your finish line, however for the hardcore marathonners, this is just your halfway mark!
Another out and back to Kurrawa Surf Club will see the marathon runners complete one of the toughest marathon runs in QLD - 42.2km ALL on sand!
