Character
City, rolling, archipelago

Two-lap course across bridges and islands — one of the world's most scenic city marathons.

Because moving beside water borrows its willingness; the current does part of the pacing for you.

Long light in June — run softly and drink often.

Race Day

Practical & atmospheric notes

Warm to hot. Early start, shade-line and salt matter — carry more water than you think you need.

A warm regional start — clubs in matching kit, coffee vans, a local mayor with a microphone. Human-scale and unhurried.

Steady, generous local support along the main boulevards and finish straight; genuine strangers-turned-friends handing out orange slices in the suburbs.

A quieter stretch usually opens up between km 17 and km 23 — an interior mile to return to yourself before the final push.

Sealed city tarmac — closed to traffic on race day

Elevation and mixed surfaces make this a physical line. Handcycles only with a support team; sturdy adaptive strollers on the flatter opening kilometres.
