Canberra Half Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, big temp swing
A cool 48°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temps will climb significantly to 67°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

The Half Marathon starts on King George Terrace outside Old Parliament House and loops the Parliamentary Triangle past Old and New Parliament House into Barton. It then follows Brisbane Avenue and Adelaide Avenue for an out-and-back into the green suburb of Yarralumla, and returns along Alexandrina Drive beside Lake Burley Griffin. The course finishes on King Edward Terrace near the start, on the Sunday of race weekend, and is AIMS-certified.
