About the race
The Hamilton Island Hilly Half Marathon is an island trail event held on Hamilton Island, Great Barrier Reef, on Sunday 2 May 2027. The main individual event is a full length course of 24 km that follows fire trails and walking tracks through the island interior, with diverse terrain and notable uphill and downhill sections.
Entries are offered as individual or team relay options, and there are junior races with three distance choices. Minimum ages are specified: individual competitors 16 years and older, team competitors 14 years and older, and junior competitors aged 4 to 15 years. Entry pricing varies by category and by booking period, with separate early bird and general entry fees for individuals, teams, and juniors. Entries close on Sunday 25 April 2027.
Categories include open individual, individual age groups, relay challenge (open male, open female, open mixed) and junior race divisions. Race pack collection and a race briefing are organised before competition days; competitors must register during pack collection and present identification. Competitors are required to be sufficiently trained and fit for the course and to follow event rules, including disqualification for taking shortcuts and a restriction to one earphone for mp3 use. Medal presentations and prize announcements are held after the event at the Beach Pavilion. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
