The Hobart Marathon Festival takes over the waterfront of Tasmania's capital with a two lap road course that runs beside Constitution Dock, the Derwent River and the Salamanca wharves. Runners pass historic warehouses and harbour buildings before finishing against the backdrop of the Hobart waterfront. The day offers a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, a 5K run, a 5K walk and a 2K fun run and walk, so first timers and families line up alongside qualifier chasers. The marathon course is AIMS certified and is listed as a Boston Marathon qualifier. Bib collection happens the day before at the Event Precinct, and the morning gets underway early with the marathon and half marathon starting at 06:00.
