The marathon is three loops: two 10.5 km city loops that turn at Primrose Street, then one 21.1 km loop out to Pallarenda and back. You start and finish in the parkland at Jezzine Barracks and pass the Marina and the Casino and run along The Strand. The course is flat and AIMS certified. The start comes before dawn, so you run the first part in the dark before the sun rises over the Coral Sea.
