Where Marysville Marathon Festival starts and finishes
Marysville Marathon Festival starts at Gallipoli Park, 31 Falls Road, Marysville. We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.
These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on.
Full Marysville Marathon Festival Route Breakdown
All courses start and finish in Gallipoli Park, Marysville, and follow the scenic Steavenson River corridor. Runners weave through fern‑filled gullies, pass the iconic Steavenson Falls, and climb rolling hills that reward effort with panoramic mountain views. Shorter distances stay on gentle forest tracks, while the 50 km and 100 km ultras add challenging ascents and technical single‑track sections. The festival atmosphere is supportive, with volunteers at checkpoints and a community‑focused vibe that encourages both elite athletes and families to enjoy the natural beauty of Victoria's high country.

Training Strategy for Marysville Marathon Festival
16-20 weeks is the target window for first-time marathoners; 12-16 weeks is solid if you're already maintaining a baseline mileage. Arrive with your longest run behind you in training, not on race day itself.
This is a largely flat course, so most of your long runs can mirror that — flat and steady, building time on feet rather than hill strength.
Reduce overall mileage across the final 2-3 weeks while preserving short race-pace bursts. Arrive at Gallipoli Park, 31 Falls Road, Marysville fresh, energized, and primed — not fit, fresh.
Lock in your target pace using the interactive splits calculator below — no official pacers are confirmed for this event, so a pace band on your watch is the more reliable option.
Test your race-day fuel and hydration plan on your long training runs, not for the first time on race day — check the Race Day Checklist below for what's actually on this course.
Marathon Nutrition & Fueling Plan
A deliberate increase in carbohydrate over the two to three days before the race is the well-established approach at marathon distance.
Eat a carbohydrate-focused breakfast two to three hours before the start, and stick to something you've already tested in training rather than trying anything new.
Most runners take on carbohydrate every 30 to 45 minutes from about an hour in, alongside fluid at the on-course stations.
A mix of carbohydrate and protein in the hour or so after finishing supports recovery.
