About this event
Run Canberra, the iconic Canberra Times Fun Run organized by Sole Motive, returns to the streets of Australia’s capital on Sunday, 1 November 2026.
Choose from four distances: a 21.1km Half Marathon, 10km, 5km, and a 2km Kids Dash. The course is fast and predominantly flat, guiding runners and walkers past iconic landmarks including the Old and New Parliament Houses.
The Half Marathon, 10km, and 5km events are AIMS-certified and feature dedicated wheelchair waves for the Half Marathon, 10km, and 5km.
The finish line at Rond Terrace overlooks the picturesque Lake Burley Griffin, where participants can enjoy post-race celebrations together in the lively event village.
Note that the 5km race starts at a separate location, King George Terrace, with a free shuttle bus available from Rond Terrace to the Treasury Car Park near the start line. Early bird pricing is available, and race bib collection begins on Saturday, 31 October at the Event Village.
