About the race
The Henderson Newcastle Marathon is a road running event held in Newcastle on 18 April 2027. The organisers plan to stage both a full marathon and a half marathon on a route that runs along the Honeysuckle Foreshore and past Nobbys Beach and Newcastle Beach.
The event course is AIMS accredited and described as flat and fast, with scenic coastal and harbour views. Due to changes and construction at The Station, the start and finish will be located at the Foreshore Park car park for this edition. Cut-off times apply: 6 hours for the full marathon and 4 hours for the half marathon.
Distances offered:
- 42.2 km full marathon
- 21.1 km half marathon
All finishers receive a commemorative medal. Only the overall male and female winners receive prizes; age-group medals are not presented. Dogs are not permitted on the course. Entries close the day before the event unless sold out; a late entry fee applies from two weeks before race day. Early bird entries open on 1 July 2026. Transfers to another person are available through the entry portal for a $10 fee. Refunds are offered on a sliding scale: 70% up to six weeks before the event, 40% from six weeks to 14 days before, and no refunds within 14 days.
Official results are published via Multisport Australia timing and race photos are made available through Marathon Photos. The organiser acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands where the event is held. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
