Pro tips

  1. 01

    Sand Stride

    The marathon is run entirely on hard packed sand along Cable Beach. Shorten your stride and keep cadence high; the firm surface still demands more effort than road.

  2. 02

    Dry Season Heat

    Typical race day temperature is 22.7°C in the Dry Season. Pace yourself to avoid overheating in the sun and use the ocean views to stay relaxed.

  3. 03

    Tide Timing

    High tide is nearly 9 hours after the marathon start, so the race is scheduled for low tide's hard packed sand. Run the early kilometers on the firmest sand.

    Share the Beach

    The marathon shares Cable Beach with the 11.3 km Matso's Dash and 19.6 km Life and Soul Run. Expect other runners and walkers, especially near the start and finish.
