About the Event

The Magnetic7in7 Marathons 7 Days race kicks off in Townsville City on Monday, July 20th, 2026, and concludes with the final loop on Sunday, July 26th, 2026. This unique event is set along The Strand, a vibrant coastal strip that stretches from west to east through the heart of this Queensland city. On race day, runners will start their journey next to the basketball court, where they'll be greeted by the bustling energy and local charm of Townsville's residents.
The Strand itself offers a blend of urban grit and natural beauty, with its wide, sandy beaches meeting the blue waters of the Coral Sea. The air is crisp in early July, carrying hints of salt and sea breeze that mix with the scent of eucalyptus from nearby parks. As runners navigate through 7 x 6k loops each day, they'll be treated to views of palm trees swaying gently in the afternoon sun and the rhythmic sound of waves lapping against the shore.
This race has been a staple in Townsville’s calendar since its inception, drawing participants who return year after year. Over seven days, runners complete 42km each day, earning medals for their perseverance and dedication. The event not only celebrates physical endurance but also supports local charities, making it a community cornerstone that strengthens bonds between residents.
---
The course itself runs through the scenic streets of The Strand, offering a mix of paved paths and occasional gravel sections. Each loop is 6km long, ensuring variety as runners encounter different terrains throughout their day. A mobile aid station with water and refreshments is stationed at key points to keep participants fueled during intense stretches.
On race day, expect temperatures in the low-20s Celsius (around 18.6°C) with a feel-like temperature that's similar due to low humidity levels of around 74%. The average wind speed will be about 7.9 km/h, which might make conditions slightly brisk but not overly challenging. Trail surfaces are generally well-maintained, though runners should prepare for some uneven patches along the route.
