Event Details
Course Description
The marathon follows the pristine stretch of Cable Beach, starting at the Broome Surf Club and heading south to the iconic Gantheaume Point before looping back. Runners complete four laps of the out‑and‑back route, each lap covering firm, hard‑packed sand that stays dry during the July dry season. The half marathon runs two laps, and the 10.5 km Dash one lap, all using the same shoreline. Spectacular sunrise views, turquoise waters and the dramatic red cliffs at Gantheaume provide a breathtaking backdrop. Aid stations are placed every 5 km at the turn‑around point and at the start/finish area, offering water, electrolyte drinks and recycling bins to keep the beach clean.
Getting There
The race starts and finishes at the Broome Surf Club on Cable Beach in Broome, WA. Parking and public transport options are not detailed on the site, so runners should check the official website for the latest information on parking, shuttle services, and recommended arrival times. Arriving early will give you time to collect your race number at the Surf Club the day before.
