Entry Pathways to GCM
Transferring Race Entries
Missed out on an entry and someone has offered to sell you theirs?
Now that some ASICS Gold Coast Marathon distances have sold out, scammers are more active. Make sure any transfer is legit.
Transfers are ONLY available through the official process between Tuesday 24 March – Sunday 24 May, 2026.
All payments must go through ASICS Gold Coast Marathon – this is the only way to transfer an entry.
