Brisbane Running Festival
Do it for yourself or do it for the prizes involved – whatever the reason, the Brisbane Running Festival is an exciting event for all who participate.
Overview
Now in its twentieth year, the Brisbane Running Festival is no longer a teenager – it’s a bona fide adult in marathon circles. It’s no wonder the annual event has stood the test of time – there seems to be no suburb in Brisbane that doesn’t have its stock of runners that seem to go hard at any and all hours of the day, either in packs or as a lone soldier, sweating it out solo.
The Brisbane Running Festival takes all those religious runners and all those other not-so-religious runners (i.e. me) and takes them to Riverstage. Then, they run! The length of which you run is totally up to you – if you’re a marathon noob, you’re probably best going for the two-kilometre beginner run. Then there’s the ten kilometre run for the slightly more agile, the half marathon for the serious, and finally – the 42.190km epic looping around the river and ending up in Milton.
Do it for yourself or do it for the prizes involved – whatever the reason, the Brisbane Running Festival is an exciting event for all who participate.
