EVA Air Brisbane Marathon Festival

One of the most historic events on the Queensland running calendar, the EVA Air Brisbane Marathon Festival has iconic resonance with the 1982 Commonwealth Games where the famed Robert de Castella was first across the line in a celebrated victory. This magnificent day embarked a running frenzy in Brisbane where the first official Brisbane Marathon was open to the public in 1992.

The EVA Air Brisbane Marathon Festival is one of the oldest and most friendly events on the Australian calendar attracting thousands of participants from over 35 countries annually. Often labelled the “boutique” marathon of choice, in part due to the VIP treatment all participants receive. The event celebrates fun fitness and the test of ultimate human endurance – the Marathon. Event distances include the Marathon, Half Marathon, 10km, 5km run, 5km walk and the 2km Mini Marathon.

The event is a major fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charity.
