Racing wheelchair entrants are invited to compete in the Wheelchair Marathon (18+), Wheelchair 10km (12+) and Wheelchair 5km (8+). 

No hand cycles are permitted. The 2027 ASICS Gold Coast Marathon is conducted under Athletics Australia, World Para Athletics and World Athletics rules which clearly state that the Wheelchair Marathon is an athletics event and only a recognised racing wheelchair is permitted. No mechanical gears are permitted on the chair.  

Refer “Race Policies” for further information. 

The race organiser has strong risk management concerns about the inclusion of participants other than runners in our events based on the known congestion and inattentive behaviour of some runners and the potential for accidents to occur. Day wheelchairs may compete in any race (except for the Wheelchair Marathon, Wheelchair 10km and Wheelchair 5km which are for racing wheelchair competitors only). For the safety of yourself and others, we recommend affixing a flag to your wheelchair and starting from the very rear of the starting field in each race. However, if you are an experienced participant you may elect to start in the start zone based on your anticipated finish time. Please note, age restrictions apply for each race.   

Hand cycles are not permitted.
