Brooks Surf Coast Trail Marathon
The Surf Coast Trail Marathon is a coastal trail running event held on Saturday 26 June 2027. The route follows sections of the Surf Coast Walk from Torquay to the Fairhaven Surf Lifesaving Club on Victoria’s Surf Coast, about an hour south west of Melbourne. The course passes coastal landmarks including Bells Beach, Point Addis, Anglesea and Split Point lighthouse at Aireys Inlet.
The event offers multiple race formats:
- 42 km marathon solo or team (teams of two share the distance)
- 21 km half marathon
- 8 km Urquhart’s Bluff Blast
Entries can be managed online, including category changes, merchandise or bus tickets. Changing up in distance incurs a $20 admin fee plus any price difference; changing down has no fee and no refund of the price difference. Entries can be transferred to another runner for a $20 transfer fee.
Important refund conditions are stated: full refunds less a $30 admin fee are available prior to midnight 24 May 2027; there are no refunds or deferrals beyond that date.
