Mad Max Marathon 2024

The second Mad Max Marathon Festival on Sunday 28th July 2024 presents a unique opportunity to explore outback Australia and the historic city of Broken Hill and its link to the Mad Max film franchise. All abilities and ages are catered for - from the elite marathon runner to the weekend jogger or walker on a course that is flat, flat, flat.

Event Details

The event starts and finishes at the Broken Hill Racecourse, home to the spacious Gary Radford Pavilion and nearby camping facilities for those seeking a real outback adventure. There are many other accommodation options in Broken Hill which you can explore.

Course Information

The marathon, half-marathon, 10km and 5km events all start with the Broken Hill Racecourse parkrun loop. The longer events then involve varying distances on flat dirt tracks alongside Racecourse Road and then a left turn onto the Silver City Highway. An iconic medal will be awarded to all finishers.

Event partner, Maari Ma Health, is an Aboriginal community controlled health organisation dedicated to improving the health outcomes for communities in the far west region of New South Wales.
