Course Description

The Beerwah@Night courses wind through the rugged foothills of Mt Beerwah, marked with reflective orange flagging tape every ~250 m and red directional arrows. The 10 km route climbs 294 m, the half‑marathon adds 586 m of ascent, and the marathon repeats the half‑marathon twice (total gain 1 172 m). Expect technical single‑track, occasional steep climbs and scenic bushland views. The marathon’s first lap runs anti‑clockwise with a 7:45 pm cut‑off before the second clockwise loop. All routes are well‑marked and supported by water and electrolyte stations, with no disposable cups provided.
