Course & Elevation
The Darwin Half Marathon features a predominantly flat, scenic course that winds through the tropical city center and along the waterfront, offering views of Darwin Harbour. The route takes runners through urban parks, residential areas, and the picturesque Fannie Bay precinct, finishing at the iconic Darwin Waterfront. Despite the minimal elevation gain, the warm tropical climate can present a challenge even during the dry season.
