EVA Air Sunshine Coast Marathon Festival 2026

Alexandra Headland on the Sunshine Coast hosts this running festival, recognized as one of Australia's most popular running events. Since it began, the event has built a strong community, offering distances from a full marathon down to a 2km fun run. The course is AIMS certified, providing a professionally measured route along the Sunshine Coast. A unique tradition for 2026 is the introduction of Pacer Dogs, added due to popular demand. This feature assists participants across all distances, from serious marathoners to those enjoying the shorter fun runs.
