Race the Roo

Sun, Jul 26, 2026 | Skippy Park, Landsborough, QLD, Australia

Join this thrilling community running event where runners of all abilities—from casual park runners to elite athletes—compete to outpace the Roo over multiple ~1.1km laps.

Everyone starts each lap together with the Roo, followed by a short rest. Laps start leisurely but progressively accelerate, testing even the strongest endurance runners. Stay in the race by finishing ahead of the Roo each time; your total distance depends on your stamina, speed, and strategy.

Results are based on completed laps ahead of the Roo, with prizes for overall winners and fun giveaways throughout. Challenge yourself and discover your limits in this unique, engaging format!

Distances:
Multiple laps of a ~1.1K circuit - From 5K - 30K
