Run the Noosa Marathon

Chase the Sun on Noosa’s Scenic Marathon Course

Each May, the ASICS Runaway Noosa Marathon transforms the town into a vibrant hub of runners, supporters, and festival energy. Whether you’re racing or cheering, this event is a true celebration of fitness and community spirit.

The 2025 ASICS Runaway Noosa Marathon will take place on Saturday, 24 May, with event festivities running across the weekend from Friday 23 May to Sunday 25 May. The festival offers a range of distances—marathon, half marathon, 10km, and 5km—so everyone from seasoned athletes to fun runners can get involved. The marathon starts at 6:15am, the half marathon at 6:30am, the 10km at 9:15am, and the 5km at 10:15am, all beginning along Noosa Parade and finishing at Lions Park in Noosa Heads.

The course is renowned for its flat, fast laps and stunning scenery, winding past waterways, parks, and the heart of Noosa. The weekend also includes a Swim Noosa event on Sunday, with distances for all ages at Noosa Main Beach.
Festival Village in Noosa Heads Lions Park is the hub for athlete check-in, merchandise, and entertainment, with shuttle buses running throughout the weekend for easy access. Road closures are in effect on Saturday, so plan your travel accordingly.

After the race, unwind at The Lookout, where you can relax in comfort, enjoy a post-run meal, and take in sweeping views of Noosa. Staying at The Lookout puts you just minutes from the start and finish lines, making it the perfect base for your marathon weekend.
