Run the River Half - 23 August 2026
Run the River on 23 August 2026 is a community running event based at Brett's Wharf Plaza in Brisbane. The courses follow riverfront pathways along the Brisbane River and are predominantly flat and sealed. The route is marked and marshalled but runs on shared pathways that may remain open to the public.
Available distances:
- Half Marathon (21.1 km)
- 10 km Run
- 5 km Run/Walk
- 2.2 km Kids Run
Aid stations will be located on the Half Marathon and 10 km courses. The 5 km and Kids Run have access to hydration at the finish area. The Half Marathon, 10 km and 5 km events are professionally timed; the 2.2 km Kids Run is untimed. Finishers in each event receive an official finisher medal.
Prams and strollers are permitted in the 5 km and 2.2 km Kids Run and are not permitted in the Half Marathon or 10 km races. Walkers are allowed in the 5 km and 10 km events and may participate in the Half Marathon provided they can finish within the event cut-off times. Organisers state that cut-off times are intended to be generous and exact times will be confirmed closer to the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
