The Hobart Airport Marathon Festival returns on Sunday, 6 April 2025! 🏃‍♂️

This exciting event welcomes runners and walkers of all abilities, from the Marathon to the 2km Mini Marathon, and also raises vital funds for local charities.

To ensure the safety of all participants, comprehensive traffic management plans will be in place from 5:00 am to 1:00 pm across:

📍 Franklin Wharf
📍 Hobart City
📍 Queens Domain
📍 Battery Point
📍 Sandy Bay

🚗 Plan your journey in advance and follow signage for alternative routes.

☕ Support local businesses along the course - they’d love to see you! You can still get around easily on foot.

👏 Get involved! Come out, cheer, and enjoy the incredible atmosphere. The finish line is at PW1 Castray Esplanade. We have past (and most likely future!) Olympians participating, including Milly Clark in the Hobart Airport Marathon, and Ryan Gregson in the Hutchies Half Marathon.

We appreciate your support in making this a fantastic event for the community!
