Event Overview
The Hallora Marathon Festival is a regional event in Victoria with distances ranging from a Kids Dash (approx 300m) through to 42km, plus 24km, 16km, 8km and 5km options. The 2026 edition is scheduled for Sunday 6 December.

What the Course Demands
With split start locations and a shared finish at Western Park in Warragul, race-day execution depends on planning your pre-start routine and timing around transport and staging. The festival format also means multiple events moving through the same finish precinct, so staying organised for check-in, start-area timing, and post-finish flow matters. Course profile and underfoot details are not specified in the provided event information.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners looking for a choice of distances on the same weekend, from shorter community runs through to the 24km and marathon. It can work well for athletes who prefer a structured event setting with a central finish hub and a clearly defined start and finish arrangement. The marathon and 24km are stated as run-only, while other distances include additional participation options.
