Brooks Surf Coast Trail Marathon 2026
The Brooks Surf Coast Trail Marathon returns for its 12th edition on 20 June 2026 in Torquay, Victoria. The event stages trail races along the Surf Coast Walk, running between Torquay and Fairhaven on Victoria’s Surf Coast, about an hour south west of Melbourne.
The course travels through coastal reserves and includes sections near Bells Beach, the clifftops around Point Addis and Anglesea, and finishes toward Split Point lighthouse at Aireys Inlet. The route is described as relatively non-technical, non-remote, and non-mountainous while offering coastal viewpoints and singletrack sections.
Race formats include:
- 42 km marathon, solo or as a team of two
- 21 km half marathon
- 8 km singletrack taster, a new distance for 2026
Entry fees vary by distance and by entry period, with listed price bands for early bird, regular, late, and last minute entries. The event also provides bus transport for some start locations and publishes an event schedule and race-specific details. The organiser maintains a refund policy with a deadline for refunds and allows transfers to another person under specified conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
