Event Details
Course Description
The Melbourne 777 Marathon course is being finalised but will follow a predominantly road route through the city’s iconic streets and parklands. Shorter distances run a 7 km loop with two water stations, while the 14 km adds an extra loop and the half and full marathon extend the route further into Melbourne’s urban landscape. Expect a flat, mixed‑terrain experience suitable for both runners and walkers, with clear signage and on‑course facilities.
