Why choose Mansfield Marathon?

Mansfield is a destination town, with heaps to see and do, it’s worth a weekend away. With Mt. Buller and Mt. Stirling nearby it’s a great chance to explore the High country.

The Great Victoria Rail Trail is in excellent condition, the surface is arguably the best of all the rail trails for running. There is very little slippage, it’s smooth and wide, and it’s a perfect off-road marathon for beginners through to elite runners.

It’s a simple out-and-back course, with no chance of getting lost and only a few road crossings. The trail is largely flat but the few undulations are welcome with a little variation to keep the legs happy.

In a crowded calendar, it’s difficult to find a date that works. The Mansfield Marathon is in May on Mother's Day so people aiming for the Gold Coast Marathon can do the half or even full marathon as a lead-in event or anyone can do it knowing it won’t be too hot!

It’s run by the community for the community. Mansfield Athletics with support from the Friends of the Great Victorian Rail Trail are doing this primarily to help everyone enjoy the rail trail and improve their health and fitness. Any funds raised will be directed to our charity partner and local health and well-being projects.
