Gold Coast police would like to remind motorists of upcoming road closures due to the 41st Gold Coast Marathon.
The event will be conducted over two days, Saturday July 6 and Sunday July 7, 2019 with over 30,000 competitors expected to participate in this year’s event.
All events start and finish at the Southport Broadwater Parklands. The course for the marathon, which will be held on Sunday, extends right down to include the Esplanade at Burleigh Heads.
