Summary
| Description |
The 1986 Gold Coast Marathon had a new naming rights sponsor in brewing company XXXX. The race once again started and finished at Broadbeach with 253 of the 825 participants attempting their first marathon ever. The male and female winners of the marathon were awarded return trips to compete in the New York Marathon. Relative unknown Peter Mitchell took out the men’s marathon in a time of 2:14:59. With this result, the 23-year-old Victorian scraped into the Australian team for the World Championships by one second. However previous Gold Coast Marathon champion Pat Carroll was not so lucky, falling short of the 2:15:00 selection standard by 33 seconds. Benowa ‘super mum’ Margaret Reddan collected her fourth Gold Coast Marathon title in 2:47:09, the third in succession and fastest of her four wins. Showcasing her dedication to running, Margaret won the Australian Championships six weeks prior to the XXXX Gold Coast Marathon, and was back in training only one day after the Gold Coast event. In 1986 the XXXX Gold Coast Marathon was broadcast on Channel O for the second consecutive year. Out of the 2,000 plus competitors, the oldest competitor was Brisbane’s John Peterson who celebrated his 70th birthday on marathon eve, while the youngest was 13-year-old Bradley Reynolds who completed his third full marathon.
