About the Nike Melbourne Half Marathon
The Nike Melbourne Half Marathon is one of Australia's highest-demand 21.1-kilometre races. It has a dedicated start, course and sold-out field within Melbourne Marathon Festival, capped by the MCG finish.
Course
Starting on Batman Avenue, the city road course works through central Melbourne before entering the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Urban turns and crowd density matter even when the profile supports fast running.
Race-day weather
Melbourne spring weather is famously variable. A cool start can shift to sun, wind or rain, so runners should plan for changing exposure rather than relying on a stable forecast pattern.
