Only a short ferry ride from Townsville lies Magnetic Island, boasting a unique natural environment of palm-fringed beaches, large granite boulders, hoop pines, sandy beaches and fringing coral reefs, it is an island paradise of endless sunshine, koalas, hiking trails, adventures, and more! The spectacular courses take you from one side of Magnetic Island to the other and finish at the Arcadia Village Hotel. This is the only run that is held on a Saturday afternoon, which makes it the perfect opportunity to spend the weekend on the island. The finish line is inside the pub, so you only have to walk another 10m to the bar and order your hard earned drink and meal. Choose your own challenge from a 6km, 12km or a 21km course. The trails will climb out Nelly Bay to the top of the hill above Arcadia Bay and the longer distances will take you down into Horseshoe Bay and back to Arcadia, taking in spectacular views along the way.
