Become a Charity Place Runner?
To secure a Charity Place, applicants must raise at least $2,000 for their chosen cause. These vital funds will help our charity partners continue their incredible work, delivering essential services, advancing research, and providing crucial support within our communities.
What are Charity Places?
The ASICS Gold Coast Marathon has provided a limited number of Charity Place Entries to its official Charity Partners. These entries provide successful applicants with a free and guaranteed spot in the 2027 event in exchange for a minimum amount raised for their chosen charity.
How do I apply for a Charity Place?
Charity Places are highly sought after, so many charities select participants based on their connection to the cause and their fundraising potential. Be prepared to answer questions about why you want to run for the charity and how much you hope to raise.
Applications for 2027 opening soon!
