Welcome to the Tamborine Mountain Relays & Marathon
Sunday January 25, 2026
This unique event held annually around Australia Day brings the best elements of running together; great people in a great location. From the incredible hospitality of the Tamborine locals, the fun of participating in teams with friends and families, the great course and relaxed vibe around the holiday period, this is an event you don't want to miss!
The course, like the race itself, has its challenges! The event was in its infancy when Covid forced a delay, then a cyclone stalled its return but the concept is too good not to thrive and the run returned with a vengeance in 2025 and now 2026 sees more exciting developments; with a junior event and new leadership from former participant; Steve Jackson from Trail Trips & Events - who so loved the event he couldn't help but want to step into the custodianship!
As for the course, it's got elements of trail, cross country and road, some rolling hills, speedy descents and the odd bit of flat and fast to break it all up!
Take on the Marathon solo, break it up with relay teams of 2, 3 or 6 people - the 6 person team has options for teams of runner or walkers.
The event benefits the local community with funds being raised for the Little Athletics Club who will be out in force on the course assisting with the aid stations and marshal roles. They will lift your spirits if not your leg speed!
So sign up solo or rally the troops, this is a great place to start your 2026 run season!
