Brighton Running Festival
The Brighton Running Festival, presented by Dalton Financial Partners, takes place at Decker Park in Brighton, QLD on Sunday 16 August 2026. The event uses waterfront routes and features multiple race distances for different participant groups.
Available distances
- Half Marathon
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2 km Family Dash
The course is described as flat and fast along the waterfront between Decker Park and Shorncliffe Pier, with views of Moreton Bay along the route. The event area at Decker Park includes a car park and additional street parking nearby. Bus services 690 and 310 stop at Decker Park. Sandgate Station is the closest train station and is approximately a 40 minute walk from the venue.
All event distances are chip timed by Multisport Australia. Finishers receive a themed medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways, and a finisher’s certificate. A photographer will take photos on course and these will be posted after the race.
The 2 km Family Dash is aimed at children; an accompanying adult may run for an additional $10 but that adult will not be timed and will not receive a medal. There are no cut-off times for the 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km. The Half Marathon has a cut-off time of 3.5 hours.
Participants should be aware there will be other pedestrians and cyclists on the paths and are advised to pay attention and avoid using earphones. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
