The Half Marathon The Half Marathon will start on Monahan Road at 10:15am
It is overall, a fast and flat course over 21.1km/13.1 miles. As with all major city marathons, the challenge for the marathon course committee was to design a route that would maximise the runners’ experience while minimising the disruption to the public. We also wanted to make this truly a city marathon, by bringing the race to as much of the city as is possible.
