On 30 August 2026, the Brighton Beach Marathon debuts as a reimagined version of the former Sandy Point Half Marathon, now expanded into a full running festival. Distances include the 42.195 km marathon, 21.1 km half marathon, 10 km, and 5 km, all set along Brighton’s beachfront roads, park connectors, and suburban streets. The terrain is mostly flat with gentle rolling sections, making it suitable for personal best attempts while still offering a relaxed coastal vibe. Organized by Sole Motive, the event combines professional race management with a family-friendly atmosphere, featuring an event village, entertainment, and post-race celebrations. With bayside scenery and closed-road support, it is set to become one of Melbourne’s highlight late-winter races.
