Event Information
Join the McGrath Active team at the Melbourne Marathon Festival. All events finish at the MCG, entry is free on the race day for family and friends to support you at the end of your race. The course is predominantly flat and is ideal for running fast times.
While the marathon is the main event and attracts more than 6,500 entrants, the half marathon is mega popular and was the largest in Australia last year. With a limit of 12,000 runners, it sells out early. It is also this year the national half marathon championships and a selection trial race for the world half champs, so you will be able to assess yourself against the best runners in Australia.
When you join McGrath Active you’ll receive a comprehensive training program, running tips, nutritional advice and motivational tips from our official Running Ambassador, Shannan Ponton, personal trainer from The Biggest Loser Australia.
Your chance to win!
If you join McGrath Active and raise the most amount of funds at either the City2Surf, Blackmores Running Festival or Melbourne Marathon you could win a training session with Shannan for you and 5 of your friends!
