The Gold Coast Airport Marathon was this weekend, featuring a 42.2km Marathon, 21.1km Half Marathon, 10km Run, 5km Challenge and Junior Dash races for the kids over 4km and 2km.
Now in its 32nd year, the Gold Coast Airport Marathon is recognised worldwide for its fast, flat and scenic course and technical excellence. Runners come from all over Australia and the world to experience the magnificent running conditions and beautiful course that runs alongside the Pacific Ocean surf beaches and Broadwater, with the hinterland as a glorious backdrop. Thousands of spectators line the scenic course along with roving musicians and entertainers, creating an amazing atmosphere called ‘Runspiration’ to help inspire and motivate the participants.
My dad organises marathons in Portugal and ultra marathons, like marathon des sables and extreme races.. So, I grew up surrounded by athletes and races.. was pretty cool to see how other organisations do the same kind of events and how athletes cop with it.
