About the race
The Mad Max Marathon Running Festival is held at the Broken Hill Racecourse, located about 6 km from Broken Hill’s main street. The event offers a range of running distances on mixed surfaces that include sections of a parkrun course, dirt tracks next to Racecourse Road and the Silver City Highway, and laps of the racecourse track.

The event is supported by the Broken Hill Rotary Club, which staffs the aid stations on course. There are four drinks stations positioned along the routes, with cups provided and some lollies at selected stations; marathon and half-marathon runners are encouraged to use hydration vests or carry refillable containers. Personal items can be left in a staffed marquee at the start area. Bibs and pre-purchased T-shirts are available for collection at the Gary Radford Pavilion at the racecourse either on race day or on the preceding Saturday. St John’s will provide first aid support with two staff members and a vehicle based at the Gary Radford Pavilion.
The festival is organised by Marathon Adventures and is presented alongside other regional marathon events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
