On Saturday 11th December distances include the 3km Walk, 5km Run and SriLankan Airlines 10km. The start location is at Yarra Park Path, parallel to Jolimont Station. As always, the course features some of the city’s most loved landmarks and finishes at the iconic MCG.
The Festival welcomes all ages and abilities. Whether you’ve running your first 5km or looking to smash a marathon personal best, there’s a distance for everyone!
The 2019 Melbourne Marathon helped raise over $1,200,000 for various charities, and this year participants are again encouraged to raise money for the official charity partner, Cerebral Palsy Education Centre, and associate charities: JMB Foundation, Australian Red Cross, the Heart Foundation, and Very Special Kids, as well as other causes close to entrant’s hearts.
