We have considered feedback from community following the 2024 event and had worked with local businesses, the community and Toowoomba Stakeholder Group to develop a route that would have less impact on local traffic.
In 2025 the marathon course will consist of three laps which will reduce the duration of the road closures in South Toowoomba with the first large lap incorporating Long St and the West Creek Pathway exclusively one-way for runners.
We have included a second lap around Prince Henry Heights offering participants another chance to take in the breathtaking views across the range and minimise the impact on residents.
By incorporating laps two and three and taking the course through the City Centre and Queens Park we give runners a reprieve from the challenging terrain and it creates greater opportunity for community activation and engagement from spectators and local businesses
To ensure the safety of participants, volunteers and spectators, police-controlled road closures will be in place along the course on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 May 2025.
You may experience delays to ensure event safety. If possible, we suggest those affected make alternative arrangements to avoid delays and to assist in minimising traffic congestion.
Saturday 3 May: Airport Drive will be under changed traffic conditions between 9:00am – 6:00pm and will reopen as events are completed.
Sunday 4 May: Roads will be closed from 3:30am and will progressively reopen as events are completed. All roads are scheduled to reopen by 1:15pm.
The success of this great community event relies heavily on local support. We encourage all Toowoomba residents and businesses to join in on the event’s excitement and atmosphere by decorating your home or business, promoting a marathon special to entice participants to your business or participating in one of our five races.
