About this event

Join us for the Rocky River Run, Rockhampton's premier charity fun run on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at the scenic Quay St Riverside Precinct. This beloved annual event raises vital funds for local community organisations while drawing runners, walkers, families, and spectators to celebrate fitness and community spirit.

Choose from four exciting distances—21.1km half marathon, 10km, 5km, or family-friendly 2km—along stunning Fitzroy River routes through Rockhampton's heritage precinct. Whether running, walking, wheeling, or strolling solo or in teams, enjoy breathtaking river views, historic landmarks like the Alexandra Rail Bridge, and a vibrant atmosphere with supportive crowds.

Every participant receives a personalised race bib (early entry), official timing, finisher's medal, event shirt (first 2,000), and access to recovery stations, family entertainment, and on-course support. Lace up for a fun, inclusive morning that showcases the best of Rockhampton's riverside beauty—all for a great cause.
