The '''Canberra Times Marathon Festival''' is an annual [[marathon]] held in the city of [[Canberra]], [[Australian Capital Territory]]. The marathon was established in 1976 and is the oldest city marathon in Australia.<ref name=race2012 >{{Cite news |date=2012-04-15 |title=Sydney runners clinch Canberra marathon |language=en-AU |work=ABC News |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-04-15/canberra-marathon-winners/3950978 |access-date=2023-01-16}}</ref> The marathon was initially held on November before being moved to April in 1979.<ref name=drawcard />

==History==
The marathon was first held in November 1976 and had 30 people start.<ref name=ct1976 /><ref name=drawcard >{{Cite news |date=1979-02-25 |title=Nike marathon now the drawcard |work=[[Canberra Times]] |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article136982242 |via=[[Trove]] |page=4 |access-date=2023-01-09}}</ref> It was founded by John Harding, who also was the race director and inaugural winner, with a finish time of 2:36:39. The whole purpose of the event was to allow John Harding to get a qualifying time in order to enter the [[Australian Marathon]].<ref name="ausrunning.1976">{{Cite web |title=Canberra Marathon 1976 |date=20 November 1976 |url=https://ausrunning.net/marathon/canberra-1976}}</ref> In total 17 people completed the course of which 14 finished in under 3 hours.{{r|ausrunning.1976}}<ref name=ct1976 >{{Cite news |date=1976-11-22 |title=Marathon to Harding |work=[[Canberra Times]] |page=11 |via=[[Trove]] |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article131797243 |access-date=2023-01-09}}</ref>

In November 1977, the race was known as the "Pre-Pacific Conference Games Marathon"<ref name=drawcard /><ref name="arrs">{{Cite web |title=Canberra Marathon |url=https://arrs.run/HP_CnbMa.htm}}</ref><ref name="ausrunning.1977">{{Cite web |title=Pre-Pacific Conference Games Marathon 1977 |date=2 December 1977 |url=https://ausrunning.net/marathon/canberra-1977}}</ref> with a total of 85 finishers.{{r|ausrunning.1977}} The 1978 race had 260 participants and was known as the "Canberra International Marathon" after which it was decided to run the marathon in April to avoid clashing with other races with the 1979 race restricted to 300 runners.<ref name=drawcard /> The number of runners peaked in 1984 with almost 2,400 starters but dropped in the late 1980s to around 500 runners each year.<ref name=mbm />

The event was sponsored by [[Nike Inc|Nike]] from 1979 to 1989 before sponsorship was taken over by the [[ACT Academy of Sport]] for the 1990 race with a $7,000 sponsorship package.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1990-03-21 |title=Veterans aim for 1978 marathon form |work=[[Canberra Times]] |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article120886662 |access-date=2023-01-09 |page=42 |via=[[Trove]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1990-03-02 |title=Modified course, new sponsor for marathon |work=[[Canberra Times]] |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article120881774 |access-date=2023-01-09 |page=18 |via=[[Trove]]}}</ref> Sponsorship for the race was then provided by [[Mobil]] starting in 1991.<ref name=mbm>{{Cite news |page=11 |via=[[Trove]] |date=1991-02-24 |title=Marathon by Mobil |work=[[Canberra Times]] |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article129106361 |access-date=2023-01-10}}</ref>

The 1995 race was the Australian trial for the [[IAAF World Marathon Cup]] after being nominated by [[Athletics Australia]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=1994-09-17 |title=Mobil marathon receives a boost to status, fields |page=60 |work=[[Canberra Times]] |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article118138355 |via=[[Trove]] |access-date=2023-01-09}}</ref>

From 2003 a memorandum of understanding was undertaken with ACT Cross Country Club to give Cundy Sports Marketing responsibility to manage the event.<ref>{{cite web |title=ACT CROSS COUNTRY CLUB INFORMATION |url=http://members.pcug.org.au/~dfry/info.html |website=members.pcug.org.au}}</ref>

In 2010 a dispute between the two groups both claiming to own the event (Cundy Sports Marketing and ACT Cross Country Club) went to court to resolve. As a result of this, government approvals for the event were not granted and the race was not held.<ref name=own/><ref>{{cite news |title=Marathon stoush over event rights |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2009-09-02/marathon-stoush-over-event-rights/1413588 |work=[[ABC News (Australia)|ABC News]]|date=1 September 2009 |language=en-AU}}</ref> As a result of this the ACT Cross Country Club disbanded. The 2011 event was organised by Fairfax Events as part of the Australian Running Festival.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Brown |first1=Loose |title=Canberra Marathon to form part of new running festival in April 2011 |url=https://the-riotact.com/canberra-marathon-to-form-part-of-new-running-festival-in-april-2011/34384 |website=Riotact |language=en |date=23 December 2010}}</ref>

The 2020 in-person edition of the race was postponed to 2021 due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Australia|COVID-19 pandemic]], with all entries automatically transferred to 2021 and all registrants given the option of also running the race virtually and receiving a medal for free.<ref name="2020.postponement">{{Cite web |title=FAQs &#124; the Canberra Times Marathon Festival |url=https://events.solemotive.com/canberra-times-marathon-festival/faqs/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200910030730/https://events.solemotive.com/canberra-times-marathon-festival/faqs/ |archive-date=10 September 2020 |access-date=12 January 2022 |website=events.solemotive.com}}</ref><ref name="2020.virtual">{{Cite web |title=The Canberra Times Marathon Festival &#124; Virtual |url=https://events.solemotive.com/canberra-times-marathon-festival/virtual/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200910030319/https://events.solemotive.com/canberra-times-marathon-festival/virtual/ |archive-date=10 September 2020 |access-date=12 January 2022 |website=events.solemotive.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-09-09 |title=Marathon festival bows to restrictions |url=https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6918181/marathon-festival-bows-to-restrictions/ |access-date=2023-01-10 |website=[[Canberra Times]] |language=en-AU}}</ref> The 2021 race attracted 1,600 entries.<ref name=coro />

== Course ==
In 2014 the race course moved from being a 3-lap race starting and finishing at [[Telopea Park School]] in [[Manuka, Australian Capital Territory|Manuka]] to a new, single lap, route starting and finishing at [[Old Parliament House, Canberra|Old Parliament House]] after passing landmarks such as the [[National Zoo & Aquarium]], [[Government House, Canberra|Government House]] and [[Telstra Tower]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Westcott |first=Ben |date=2013-11-27 |title=Canberra Marathon gets redesign next year |url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/act/canberra-marathon-gets-redesign-next-year-20131127-2yams.html |access-date=2023-01-10 |website=[[Sydney Morning Herald]] |language=en}}</ref>

The marathon starts at [[Telopea Park School]] in the suburb of [[Manuka, Australian Capital Territory|Manuka]], within sight of [[Parliament House, Canberra|Parliament House]]. The route starts with a {{cvt|10|km|mi}} lap around the old and new Parliament buildings and other major government buildings. This is followed by a double lap crossing [[Lake Burley Griffin]] (over the [[Kings Avenue, Canberra|Kings Avenue]] and [[Commonwealth Avenue Bridge|Commonwealth Avenue]] bridges) and along [[Parkes Way]] out towards the Glenloch interchange near the Telstra Tower landmark.<ref>{{Cite web |title=activity.me |url=https://www.activity.me/event/australian-running-festival-canberra-marathon |access-date=2023-01-10 |website=activity.me |language=en}}</ref>

== Other awards ==
Runners who complete ten Canberra marathons are given the honorary title of 'Griffin', after Walter Burley Griffin, the designer of the city of Canberra. 20 or more finishes receives the title of 'Burley Griffin' and 30 or more finishes the title of 'Walter Burley Griffin'.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lansdowne |first=Heather |title=When one Canberra Marathon isn't nearly enough! |url=https://the-riotact.com/when-one-canberra-marathon-isnt-nearly-enough/199994 |access-date=2023-01-09 |website=Riotact |language=en}}</ref>

==Other races==
The event has five races: 5&nbsp;km race on a Saturday, and the 10&nbsp;km, [[half marathon]], [[marathon]] and [[ultramarathon]] on the following day.<ref name="official">{{Cite web |title=Ultra Marathon |url=http://www.runningfestival.com.au/default.asp?PageID%3D21188 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130419054401/http://www.runningfestival.com.au/default.asp?PageID=21188 |archive-date=19 April 2013 |access-date=30 April 2013}}</ref>

The ultramarathon allows those registered for the marathon to "go beyond the marathon" and compete in a {{cvt|50|km|mi}} event. At the time, once participants completed the marathon, they were recorded as marathon finishers and were eligible to run a few extra kilometres to also complete the 50&nbsp;km race.<ref name="official" /> The ultramarathon and marathon were later split into separate races with separate start times.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Marathon — Running Festival |url=https://runningfestival.com.au/marathon |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190304114038/https://runningfestival.com.au/marathon |archive-date=4 March 2019 |access-date=12 January 2022 |website=runningfestival.com.au}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Ultra Marathon — Running Festival |url=https://runningfestival.com.au/ultra-marathon |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190304114044/https://runningfestival.com.au/ultra-marathon |archive-date=4 March 2019 |access-date=12 January 2022 |website=runningfestival.com.au}}</ref>
