7Cairns Marathon Festival

The Cairns Marathon Festival is a must-do destination event in Australia for all running and lifestyle event enthusiasts. Event distances include the marathon, half marathon, 10km, 5km and the 2km. Each road race will take in the best that Cairns has to offer. The event hub is a hive of activity hosting running clubs, corporate teams and sponsors. On-course and post-race entertainment in Fogarty Park are an integral element of the participant’s overall event experience.

With a distance to suit every ability and age group, this community-focused event caters to all those wanting to take part, including families and those with both physical and intellectual disabilities.

Participants of the 7Cairns Marathon Festival have raised over $150,000 for local charities since 2019. The 2024 Charity Partner is Ronald McDonald House Charities North Australia. RMHC North Australia improves the health and wellbeing of seriously ill children and strengthens their families by delivering practical care programs.

Cairns Regional Council is a proud partner of this event.
