About the race
Stromlo Running Festival is a two-day trail running festival held at Stromlo Forest Park in Canberra on 14 and 15 November 2026. The event offers multiple course distances to accommodate a range of participant choices:
- 42.2 km (marathon)
- 30 km
- 15 km
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2.5 km kids run
The festival is ITRA/UTMB indexed and described as family friendly. The Indigenous Marathon Foundation is a supported charity partner. The University of Canberra returns with a Recovery Hub staffed by physiotherapy students and supervised teachers to provide free post-run recovery support.
Bibs are pick up only and may be collected on behalf of another person. Pre-event collection is available at the Canberra and Region Visitor Information Centre between 7 and 11 November 2026. Additional collection options include an event eve collection at the Stromlo Forest Park Event Hub and event day collection prior to each race. The schedule notes that participants must run in their registered start time; starting outside the allocated wave affects eligibility for awards and official results.
Event facilities at Stromlo Forest Park include paid parking with 487 spaces and a free 15 minute drop off zone. The festival notes there will be no prize presentations on the day and highlights volunteer involvement as an important part of the event.
