Holiday Inn Surfers Paradise and Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise

We all understand the importance of beginning your training early however we often forget the other preparations required for the event, like where to stay. Booking your accommodation early not only ensures you are staying at the official hotel of the Gold Coast Airport Marathon - Holiday Inn Surfers Paradise - along with other race legends, but it locks in your commitment to the race ensuring you go through with all the training.

During the Gold Coast Airport Marathon race weekend, the hotel is in the ideal position to ensure you won’t miss any of the on and off track action. The 10km and full marathon courses are less than 100 metres from the hotel and the Gold Coast Airport Marathon pick-up spot to the start and finish lines is only minutes away. Plus kids stay and eat free* and you won’t miss any of the off track action including the official Legends Motivational Carbo Lunch which is held at the hotel.

Alternatively try the hotel’s sister property, Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise. The hotel is located opposite the Gold Coast Airport Marathon pick-up spot to the start and finish lines and less than 800 metres from the new Registration Centre at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre. After the big event both hotels offer swimming pools with hot spas and day spas to help you recover or you can simply relax on your private balcony with views.
