From 5K to the marathon
After one distance in particular? Alongside this general calendar we keep a separate half marathon calendar, a marathon calendar and a trail running calendar for Australia. Every race page shows the distances, the start location and a link to the official entry.
The season peaks in the cooler months from May to October, when the big city events are run, while summer racing starts at dawn to beat the heat; somewhere in the country there is a start line in January just as surely as in July.
