The race at a glance

Route and elevation

Warwick Pentathrun is a five-race weekend whose distances add up to approximately 42.2 km. It is not a single continuous marathon, and the official website still describes the 2026 edition rather than confirming a next exact date.

  • Saturday combines a half marathon, cross-country race and 5,000 metres.
  • Sunday includes a 10 km hill race at Queen Mary Falls and a one-mile finish event.
  • The opening half marathon is point to point, with return transport described by the organizer.

Race guide

Warwick Pentathrun totals a marathon across five separate races

Choose this event for its multi-race format, not as a substitute for an individually measured 42.195 km marathon result. The five stages use different terrain and starting arrangements, with recovery time between them. A combined weekend total does not establish a marathon qualifying time or a continuous full-distance finish.

The organizer describes the Saturday half marathon as a point-to-point run followed by breakfast and a bus back. That return journey matters if your next race starts later the same day. Confirm the new transfer plan, collection schedule and where you can leave clothing rather than assuming you will have your own vehicle at every finish.

The Sunday hill race is at Queen Mary Falls near Killarney, while the final mile is at Warwick Racecourse. Build travel time between venues into your plan and check the exact order in the new participant guide. Companions should have the stage-by-stage locations rather than a single generic Warwick address.

Preparation should reflect repeated efforts over two days, including changes from road running to cross-country and hills. Avoid treating every stage as an all-out effort simply because its distance is shorter than a marathon. Use familiar food and clothing between starts and allow time to recover and reach the next venue without rushing. The website permits entering one, several or all stages, so choose a combination suited to your preparation. Wait for the new edition’s date, rules and transport information before booking a full weekend. The older participant PDF and entry link belong to 2026 and do not establish a 2027 timetable.
