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 provided along the way, the exact locations will be made clear to all participants closer to the event.
Proposed new Marathon course- Stay tuned for more information.
