Brisbane Running: River City Loops and Subtropical Speed
Running in Brisbane is an exercise in navigating the bends of the winding Brisbane River, with races utilizing the city’s many bridges to create scenic, high-energy loops. The Brisbane Marathon Festival is the city’s main distance event, offering a full marathon, half marathon, and shorter races. The course is characterized by being generally flat, making it a favorite for those aiming for a personal best (PB), but runners must contend with the multiple, short ascents and descents required to cross the city’s major river bridges. The reward is a fantastic tour of the city's highlights, including South Bank Parklands and the CBD.
The Massive Community Event: Bridge to Brisbane
In contrast to the marathon, the iconic Bridge to Brisbane is one of Australia’s largest fun runs, drawing tens of thousands of participants to its 5K and 10K courses. This event transforms the city into a massive, joyous street party, with its atmosphere rivaling the world's biggest short-distance races. It offers a unique opportunity to run on major closed roads, including key city bridges, providing spectacular views of the river and skyscrapers while being fueled by massive crowds and music along the route.
The subtropical climate means that race timing is crucial, often leading to early morning starts to beat the heat, making the successful completion of any event here a testament to speed and smart preparation. Whether tackling the full marathon's multiple river crossings or joining the massive party of the Bridge to Brisbane, the River City delivers a scenic, well-supported, and enthusiastic running challenge.
