11 – 12 Oct

Nike Melbourne Marathon Festival

The Nike Melbourne Marathon Festival returns this October but is already at capacity.

Thousands of participants from far and wide will take part in five distances, from 2.5km to the full 42.195km, each starting on Batman Avenue (150m north of Rod Laver Arena), and finishing with a lap of honour around the MCG’s hallowed turf.

Welcoming runners of all ages, abilities, and experience levels, the five distances include the Nike Melbourne Marathon (42.195km), Nike Wheelchair Marathon (42.195km), Nike Half Marathon (21.1km), SriLankan Airlines10km Run, Dairy Farmers 5km Run, and the Chobani Fit Walk (2.5km).

Beginning in 1978, the event has grown to become a staple in the Melbourne sporting calendar and registrations quickly sell out.
