The Lowdown

The Yeppoon Running Festival is a two-day running weekend on the Capricorn Coast of central Queensland, with a marathon, half marathon, 10km, 5km, 2km and a 1.6km family run. The marathon runs on Sunday morning, starting on Anzac Parade at 5:45am and finishing at Yeppoon Lagoon. It is a three-lap coastal course that the organizers describe as undulating, with town streets, creek crossings, coastal roads and lookouts. The marathon is held under a six-hour limit with a course cutoff at 11:45am. The weekend opens on Saturday with the family run, and the first 2,000 eligible entrants receive an event T-shirt. The marathon has been sponsored by Bendigo Bank in recent years.
