Event Overview
The Kedron Running Festival is a community sports event held at Shaw Park in Wavell Heights, Queensland. The festival utilizes the Kedron Brook Cycleway in Northern Brisbane, providing participants with a flat and fast course suitable for various running abilities. The event features multiple distance options to accommodate different preferences.
Distances
- Half Marathon: A 21.1 km course with a 3.5-hour cut-off time.
- 10 km: A standard distance run with no cut-off time.
- 5 km: A shorter distance run with no cut-off time.
- 2 km Family Dash: A participation-focused event for children and families.
Logistics and Amenities
All race distances are professionally chip-timed. Participants receive a themed medal at the finish line, along with post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways, and a finisher's certificate. The event course remains open to the public; therefore, runners may encounter other pedestrians, cyclists, and dogs on the paths.
The Event Village is located at Shaw Park. Parking is available at the Brisbane Union Rugby Club and on surrounding streets. The location is accessible via public transport, situated near several bus routes and within a short walking distance of Wooloowin Station and Eagle Junction Station.
Registration and Bibs
Race bibs are printed three weeks before the event and include the participant's name if registered by that deadline. Bibs can be posted to participants if they register at least two weeks before race day. For the 2 km Family Dash, adults can register to accompany a child for a flat fee, though accompanying adults do not receive a medal or official timing.
