At this stage we are still waiting for our Letter of No Objection from Cairns Regional Council. Once we have approval for our proposed Cairns Marathon / Marathon 3 course on 30 June, we will update you.

You can read through the race information for details on the event. Competitors will receive email updates over the next couple of weeks with more detailed information and reminders.

You can also visit our Facebook page, as we post most of what you need to know on there.

Please note that registrations for the the 3M3D Grand Slam and Cairns Marathon will close at 11.59pm, Sunday, 23 June. No late entries will be considered. Register now to avoid disappointment.

Due to the flooding in the wake of cyclone Jasper in December 2023, some roads in our region are still under repair. For 2024 we cannot utilise the road leading into Copperlode Dam from the Tablelands due to landslides, washouts and trees over the road. It is impassable, even for foot traffic.

All three courses for the 3M3D will change this year. We will update you on those once we have more detail and have received approval from the relevant councils.
