Two years ago on a trip to the Dead Sea we met a few Australians. Of course, we talked about running and exchanged information about marathons. Our first question was: what is the best marathon in Australia? The answer was given without hesitation: Gold Coast!
After returning to the country, we began preparations, to take part in this marathon in the future.
We initially planned to participate in 2020 years, however, due to the cost of the Gold Coast Marathon was postponed. Traditionally, I prepared the entire travel plan and we were in touch with the organizer of the race. Overturned 2020 GCM did not spare a year either, which has become a virtual event, so we could take part in it remotely.
The challenge lasts from 1 of 31 July, you can choose 6 distances, and registration is free.
I chose Surfers Paradise Trio or:
ASICS Virtual Half Marathon;
Southern Cross University Virtual 10km Run;
Gold Coast Airport Virtual 5km Fun Run.
You can sign up all the time GCM Virtual Invites.
The results are presented live and I have fun watching the changes in the ranking after each weekend. Runners from Australia dominate. I am happy with my results and in the middle of the struggle I still hold high positions in the women's competition.
I finished my Surfers Paradise Trio, I'm waiting until the end of the month for the final ranking, and to Australia at GCM in “real world” we will go as soon as possible!
