14 weeks and 2 days

Winter in Townsville is perfect for running, watching the sun rise as you run the palm-lined beachfront of The Strand. Great scenery no doubt, however, it’s the people that really make this event special; race day is always abuzz with positive vibes, people chasing personal bests, and an atmosphere that definitely motivates others to achieve.

This year is all about honouring the event's history and those who laid the foundations of the McDonald’s Townsville Running Festival. This festival has grown far beyond the humble beginnings of the Townsville Marathon over 50 years ago to include the addition of shorter events to create a real festival vibe and help bring on the next generations of runners. We want to say thank you to each and every Runner, Volunteer, President, Committee member, Event Director and visionary who has helped to steer and develop this Festival over the years. It was their passion and commitment that has driven amazing improvements for this high-status festival we both expect and enjoy.

We hope that all runners will join us in celebrating such a rich history of running in North Queensland.
