Brighton Running Festival

The Brighton Running Festival is a community running event held at Decker Park in Brighton, Queensland. It takes place along the oceanfront between Brighton and Sandgate.

The courses are described as flat and fast. The event offers four different race distances:

21.1 km Half Marathon
10 km
5 km
2 km Family Dash

All finishers receive a themed medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways, and a finisher's certificate. The 2 km Family Dash is aimed at involving youngsters; an accompanying adult can run with a child for an additional fee but will not be timed or receive a medal.

Race bibs are posted two weeks before the event. Event photography will be available online after the race. Participants are advised that the shared paths will have other pedestrians and cyclists.

Volunteer opportunities are available for tasks like course marshalling and registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
