Brooks Surf Coast Trail Marathon
Brooks Surf Coast Trail Marathon is a 42 km trail marathon held in Torquay, Australia, in June.
The route follows the Surf Coast Walk in Victoria, running from Torquay down the coast to Fairhaven, roughly an hour south-west of Melbourne. Entrants can take on the full marathon alone or share it as a pair, with each runner covering about half. A 21 km half marathon runs alongside it.
The trail is single track with plenty of twists and turns, and it is described as fairly non-technical and not remote or mountainous, so road runners moving to trails can manage it as well as seasoned trail specialists. Along the way the path crosses a short stretch of sand at Bells Beach, climbs to the clifftops around Point Addis and Anglesea, and passes the Split Point lighthouse at Aireys Inlet. The finish is at Fairhaven.
