Murray Bridge Running Festival 2026
The Murray Bridge Running Festival takes place at Sturt Reserve on Murray Cods Drive in Murray Bridge. The event village sits on the lawn between the playground and the skate park near the local bunyip landmark. The organiser has removed the marathon distance for 2026 because of levee bank construction.
Race distances offered in 2026 include:
- 21.1 km half marathon with an aid station plan and a published cut off pace
- 10 km road run with a published cut off pace
- 5 km fun run walk with a published cut off pace
- 1.5 km kids dash with free entry and a vintage medal for children
Bib collection is available at the Bridgeport Hotel on the day before the event and on race morning at Sturt Reserve. The event provides aid stations on course for longer distances and First Care Medical on site for injuries. Finishers medals will be provided to participants in 2026, though entries after 1 October may not receive medals on time. There are separate medals for first second and third place in open and veteran categories. Presentations are scheduled after each race with results posted online. Organisation and event operations are run by volunteers and local partners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
