Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) this week (December 10, 2024) endorsed a $50,000 sponsorship to help organisers stage the May 3-4, 2025 Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport Marathon.
Council approved the sponsorship at its December Ordinary Meeting following an application from event organisers, Gold Coast Events Management Ltd (Events Management Queensland).
The sponsorship confirms Council as the naming rights sponsor for the Visit Toowoomba Region 10km event to be staged on Sunday, May 4, 2025. For details, visit https://toowoombamarathon.com.au/10km/
TRC Community Development, Facilities and Tourism portfolio spokesperson Cr James O'Shea said Council was encouraged by the results of this year's inaugural event in May, which attracted more than 1900 participants and delivered an economic return of more than $1.1 million to regional businesses.
Cr O'Shea said the organisers were confident the expansion to a two-day weekend of events in May 2025, including an altered Marathon route to reduce traffic disruptions, promised to build on the profile of the successful 2024 program.
