About the race
Beerwah@Daybreak is a trail running event staged at the base of Mt Beerwah in the Glass House Mountains National Park on 6 December 2026. The event consists of three races that start and finish at the Mount Beerwah Road entrance to the park.
- Marathon: two laps of the half marathon course, elevation gain 1172 m.
- Half Marathon: single lap, elevation gain 586 m.
- 10 km: shorter course, elevation gain 294 m.
The course is marked with reflective orange and silver flagging tape and red directional arrows; red crosses mark intersections that are not on course. Checkpoints provide water, electrolyte and a small variety of food but no disposable cups, so participants should carry a cup or use a hydration pack or bottle. Drop bags are permitted for marathon entrants and can be accessed at the start/finish after each lap.
Mandatory items include a race bib worn on the front of the body, a water bottle or hydration pack (minimum 500 ml), a compression bandage and a mobile phone with emergency contact numbers. A headlight or torch is required for the marathon. Recommended items include a drinking cup, sunscreen, insect repellent and bite or sting treatment.
Entries close 30 November, there are no entries on event day, and refunds are available until 10 November subject to a $30 administration fee. Support crews are not allowed on course; they may be at the start/finish area. Spectators are welcome at the start/finish only. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
