But the weekend of fun and fitness, on April 8 and 9 next year, is also steeped in history.
The Canberra Marathon is the oldest city marathon in Australia.
Entrants can choose a five- or 10-kilometre course. Or stretch out with a half-marathon, full marathon or 50-kilometre ultra marathon through the parliamentary triangle and along the banks of Lake Burley Griffin.
Whether you plan to run for fun, take on a new challenge or support a charity, there's a pay-off to planning ahead: $20 off registrations before February 14.
Register at www.runningfestival.com.au.
The festival is staged by Fairfax Events.
