Untamed, unadulterated and unpretentious, Kangaroo Island lies off the mainland of South Australia, southwest of Adelaide. It is renowned for its stunning coastlines, spectacular geological formations and an abundance of native Australian animals and birds in their natural environment. The perfect way to visit the island’s abundant attractions is on foot during the Kangaroo Island Marathon and Half Marathon. Organised annually in late August the Kangaroo Marathon is held a week before the Sydney Marathon, giving competitors the chance to run two marathons on two weekends to complete the ‘Aussie Challenge’.

Kangaroo Marathon is owned and operated by USA TOURS member, Marathon Tours and Travel www.marathontours.com
