Hobart Airport Marathon Festival
Hobart, Australia · Sunday 11 April 2027
The Hobart Airport Marathon Festival on April 12, 2026 offers a moderately hilly trail course through Tasmania's capital, with rolling terrain that climbs steadily but never dramatically, making it suitable for runners comfortable with varied ground underfoot. The course tops out around 100 metres above sea level, so while you'll feel the elevation throughout, there are no extreme peaks to dread. As a trail marathon, you should expect to move slower than road pace and prepare your legs accordingly, especially since the surface demands more from your stabiliser muscles. The event sits within a broader festival that includes a half marathon, 10km, and 5km races, so if you're bringing supporters or family, there's something for various fitness levels. Accommodation and logistics information is available on the race website, and since this runs in April, autumn conditions should be mild, though you'll want to check the weather closer to race day as Tasmanian conditions can shift quickly. This is a fundraising event supporting Variety Tasmania, so you may want to add that charitable element to your race motivation.
