Wangaratta Marathon
This is a great marathon course, not too hilly, not too hard on the body, simple yet scenic and fast.
Starting at the Wangaratta Showgrounds you run out of town along the Yarrawonga Rd trail doing a loop out the far end before returning the same way. Then you do it again!
The start time of 7am will hopefully allow runners to avoid the heat if it does warm up. By mid March the mornings are often cool.
There will be a few minor road crossings with marshals to stop the cars. This course will allow you to hold a good pace with only a few undulations midway along the Yarrawonga Road trail.
There will be water and energy drink provided along the way:
5km turn around point (2km, 19km, 23km & 40km approx marks)
10km turn around point (5km, 16km, 26km & 37km approx marks)
Before & after loop (8km, 13km, 29km and 34km approx marks) This point also has First Aid and 2 x toilets.
We will also set up a tent beside the start line/Toilet block for when you come through to start your 2nd lap. This is a good spot for personal drinks to be left on the table before you start the race.

Wangaratta often has cool calm mornings in March so if it’s a good weather day you will have a chance of a PB on this fast flat course.
