Busselton Marathon
Busselton, Australia · Sunday 7 February 2027
The Busselton Marathon takes you on a flat to gently rolling trail course through Western Australia in February, with minimal elevation gain that makes it a solid option for runners chasing a fast time or building fitness without brutal climbs. The trail surface and low altitude throughout mean you're not dealing with technical footing or thin air, just consistent running on a course that sits barely above sea level. This is a community-focused event organized by the Busselton Runners Club, so expect a local feel rather than a big commercial production. February places this race in Australian summer, so heat management and hydration will be more pressing concerns than cold weather gear. If you're targeting a marathon personal best or want a straightforward effort without surprise elevation, this course delivers.
