“Ballarat has such a rich heritage of distance running and the Ballarat Marathon will celebrate this. I’m very proud to be involved in bringing the Ballarat Marathon to life and I think there’s no better place for a world-class road running festival, given our cool weather, beautiful streets and friendly people”.


* Results are currently provisional.


Ballarat has a rich sporting and cultural history. The BALLARAT MARATHON is designed to celebrate this. Held annually in late April, the Ballarat Marathon will be a two-day running festival, open to both elite and recreational athletes. Our event will showcase one of regional Australia’s most beautiful and historic cities and promote health and wellbeing across the community.
