The upcoming ASICS Runaway Noosa Marathon is set to be the largest in the event’s history, with the marathon and half marathon events now sold out.
With over seven weeks remaining until the Saturday 25 May event, the only way left to be involved is through the 10km and 5km events.
Event organisers are expecting more than 6500 runners to take part in the fifth edition of Runaway Noosa, with the event continuing to grow in 2024.
Leanna Ali, regional director for The IRONMAN Group Oceania, organisers of Runaway Noosa, said that it’s great to see the event continue to go from strength to strength.
“We’re thrilled with the response from runners from home and abroad for this year’s ASICS Runaway Noosa Marathon, with the marathon and half marathon events now officially sold out,” she said.
“For those who are interested in being involved we encourage them to snap up some of the remaining entries into the 10km and 5km events.
“Last year was the biggest Runaway Noosa with more than 5500 runners taking part and we can’t wait to see considerably more take to the streets of Noosa this May for a weekend to remember,” Ali said.
“It’s great to see so many local runners getting involved, along with plenty escaping the cooler conditions down south. It’s also really pleasing to see the international appeal continue to grow.
“For the runners who have already signed up we hope that the training is going well and for those still keen to be on the start line get in quick, as those remaining 10km and 5km entries won’t last long.”
For those who want to finish off their weekend in the water, Swim Noosa takes place on Sunday 26 May.
Swim Noosa provides the perfect opportunity to finish off the race weekend with a dip in Laguna Bay off Noosa Main Beach. The event offers four ocean swims, including 500m, 1km, 2km and 3.8km swims, beginning from 7am.
Entries remain open for the 5km and 10km events, along with Swim Noosa. For more information and to enter visit runawaynoosamarathon.com.au
