About This Event
The Broome International Airport Marathon offers runners the chance to experience one of Australia's most stunning coastal settings along the pristine shores of Cable Beach in Western Australia. Set during Broome's perfect dry season conditions in July, this unique event takes advantage of ideal tidal timing to provide super firm, hard-packed sand for optimal running conditions. The race begins at Cable Beach near the Surf Club and follows an out-and-back course to Gantheaume Point, with competitors completing multiple laps depending on their chosen distance. With drink stations positioned every 5 kilometers and rolling presentations throughout race morning, the event maintains a welcoming community atmosphere while showcasing the natural beauty of this remote coastal destination. Timing is everything for this beach-based event, as organizers carefully select the date based on tidal conditions to ensure the best possible running surface. The combination of Western Australia's dramatic coastline, perfect weather conditions, and the unique challenge of beach running creates a distinctive racing experience in one of the country's most picturesque locations.
