Run the River Brisbane : 23 August 2026
Run the River is a community running event held in Brisbane with all races starting and finishing at Brett's Wharf Plaza. The courses follow the Brisbane River on predominantly flat, sealed riverfront pathways and run towards the city. The course uses shared pathways; sections will be marshalled and clearly marked, and parts of the route may remain open to the public.
Distances offered include:
- Half Marathon (21.1 km)
- 10 km Run
- 5 km Run/Walk
- 2.2 km Kids Run
The Half Marathon, 10 km and 5 km events are professionally timed. The Kids Run is untimed. Aid stations are placed along the Half Marathon and 10 km courses; the 5 km and Kids Run have hydration available at the finish area. All finishers receive an official finisher medal. Walkers are permitted in the 5 km and 10 km and may participate in the Half Marathon if they can finish within the event cut-off times. Prams and strollers are allowed in the 5 km and 2.2 km Kids Run but are not permitted in the Half Marathon or 10 km races.
The event supports a range of charitable organisations and provides organised race operations and course support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
