TESTIMONIES
 Agus Hermawan“Running the Gold Coast Airport Marathon feels like I am running in a paradise for runners! The route is very scenic and clean, the race atmosphere is amazing with the local residents cheering for the runners. It is definitely a lot of fun running on the Gold Coast with its beautiful scenery and pleasant weather. No wonder so many runners achieve their personal best here!” |  Holip Soekawan“Due to one thing and another, my participation at Gold Coast Airport Marathon was rather last-minute. My family and I didn’t expect much, but after staying for 8 days in the city, we returned to Jakarta refreshed! We primarily came for the run, but the overall Gold Coast experience was indeed fun.” |  Safrita A. Harfah“I was very happy to run the 2014 Gold Coast Airport Marathon where I ran my personal best! I even exceeded the goal I set for myself! The event was fantastic, very well organized and the feeling was awesome with the crowd support (it is truly “runspiration”). I was happy to meet fellow Indonesians living in Australia who ran the marathon too!” |
