THE Green-U Great Ocean Road INTERNATIONAL MARATHON
Festival of Distance Running



  Lee Troop              Spectacular running Views!                                                                                                 


A new and adventurous concept in Australian distance running - the GREAT OCEAN ROAD INTERNATIONAL MARATHON - was unearthed in 2005.

The road from Lorne to Apollo Bay provides the most spectacular and challenging course of any marathon in the world.

The international marathon is publicised and promoted worldwide and appeals to runners and walkers of all abilities, with over 3,000 participants in 2008, and increasing every year!


FORMAT:

Four races will be held over the weekend of May 16-17, 2009.
The races, of varying distances, will cater for a wide variety of runners/walkers. This year saw the TAC WHeelchair Athletes Challenge, in conjunction with the 14km Apollo Bay-Paradise event, introduced for the first time.
