The Half Marathon starts at 8.15am by which time most of the marathon runners will be well and truly on the way though their first lap. This year, the event will start and finish right at the entrance to Rottnest Island adjacent to the Main Jetty.

It is anticipated that over 300 runners will tackle the four-lap marathon course. The bagpipes have become a traditional part of the marathon and can be heard throughout the marathon at Armstrong Hill. The start of the RunFun Travel Rottnest Marathon is heralded by the wail of bagpipes at 6.55am on the Sunday morning. The previous mens course record was 2:29:24, set in 1998 by Todd Ingraham. The current course record for men is 02:28:57 set by Gerard Hill in 2019. In that year 72 runners completed the marathon with Ray Brown winning the men’s race in a time of 2:35:50 and visiting New Zealand runner Nyla Carroll took the women’s title in 2:52:20 - this remains the course record for women.

The inaugural Rottnest Marathon was run in October 1994.
