Race Description
The Gold Coast Half Marathon is widely regarded as one of the fastest half marathon courses in the world. The race follows a coastal route along the famous beaches of Australia’s Gold Coast. Runners typically start near the Broadwater Parklands area and follow long, straight coastal roads that run parallel to the Pacific Ocean. Much of the course consists of flat avenues with minimal elevation change, making it ideal for runners targeting fast times or personal bests. The route continues south along the shoreline before turning back toward the finish area. With consistent terrain and uninterrupted views of the ocean, the course allows runners to maintain a steady rhythm across the 21.1 kilometers. The combination of speed and coastal scenery attracts runners from around the world.
