Canberra / ACT Marathons

Canberra has a proud marathon tradition, with the capital's autumn running festival among the country's longest-running 42.2km events, and the Stromlo Running Festival at Stromlo Forest Park offering trail and road marathon options. The cool Canberra air and flat lakeside courses make for fast racing.
