Run through beautiful jungle trails trying not to trip over the famous Christmas Island Red Crabs or marauding Robber crabs while listening to the chorus of birds cheering you along from above. This grassroots community run event has been running since 1992 and is starting to attracted runners from all over the world. Swell Lodge has teamed up with local runner Kathy who has run the CI marathon and half-marathon (numerous times) as well as many other community and mainland running events. Well-experienced in the challenging, hot and humid conditions here, Kathy will take you on a few practice runs through the jungle to help condition your body, pass along her best tips and guide you by walking, running and driving the marathon route before the race to. It doesn't matter if you’re a seasoned marathon runner looking for a unique experience or a total newcomer just keen to give the half-marathon a shot, this is a great opportunity to visit and explore Australia’s best-kept secret. We’ll throw in a yoga session to help you stretch those leg muscles and between Kathy’s prep, we'll also be offering daily guided activities to pristine beaches, naturally formed rock pools, a relaxing shower under a waterfall and even a boat snorkelling tour in the 28 degree, crystal-clear ocean. Finish every day with cold drinks on your private oceanfront deck, followed by a three course meal cooked by your private chef.
