Australia's road running scene is the beating heart of the running calendar, and this is where you'll find it all in one place. From the big-city marathons that shut down the streets of Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast to friendly local fun runs and fast, flat half marathons built for chasing a PB, road races make up the vast majority of events around the country. Many feature World Athletics or AIMS certified courses — the gold standard for runners hunting a qualifying time or an official personal best. Whether you're lining up for your first 5km, targeting a sub-3 marathon, or just after a scenic Sunday morning alongside thousands of like-minded runners, the calendar below covers every state and distance. Browse upcoming road running events across Australia, filter by your home state or goal distance, and find your next start line.
