Brooks Surf Coast Trail Marathon 2027

Fairhaven, Australia, 26 Jun 2027

This point-to-point course follows the Surf Coast Walk from Point Addis to Fairhaven, linking clifftop trail, a brief Anglesea beach detour, a long sandy stretch to Urquhart’s Beach, and the run past Split Point lighthouse into Aireys Inlet. The trail is described by the organiser as non-technical and well signposted, but the beach running and exposed coastal terrain still make it a demanding half marathon. It stands out as an accessible coastal trail race that also suits road runners wanting a first trail experience.

One distance, 42 km, up to 710 m of climb.
