2025 Ballarat Marathon course revised for enhanced race speed and improved spectator views.
The 2025 Ballarat Marathon course is being revised to enhance race speed and improve spectator views. The changes involve a horseshoe turn on Lydiard and Mair streets, cutting out a section of the CBD and extending the far western course at the Arch of Victory. This comes after feedback from athletes struggling with an uphill section and spectators losing sight of the race. The marathon, aiming to match or surpass its 4,700-participant inaugural event, has already received over 700 nominations for the 2025 event.
