The ASICS Runaway Noosa Marathon brings thousands of runners to the sun-drenched streets of Noosa Heads on Saturday 23 May 2026, for the fifth edition of one of Queensland's most loved running events. Part of the Runaway Marathon Series — alongside the Queenstown and Hawke's Bay marathons in New Zealand — this Sunshine Coast event is built around a unique multi-lap course starting and finishing on Noosa Parade, just steps from iconic Hastings Street. The route threads across scenic bridges over Weyba Creek and the Noosa River, along the riverbanks of Gympie Terrace, and through Noosaville, with full road closures throughout. Water and electrolyte stops every 2.5km. Live music keeps spirits high on every lap. Finisher medal for all. With mild autumn temperatures of around 23°C, Noosa in May is as close to perfect running weather as Australia gets.
