About this event

Weight of War Run – Brisbane is a free charity run supporting veteran mental health, taking place on Saturday, 5 December 2026, at Felons Brewing Co in Brisbane.

The event’s signature challenge is a 21-kilometre run, walk or scooter journey completed in a 10-kilogram weighted vest and budgy smugglers. The vest symbolises the invisible weight many veterans carry, while the swimwear represents the courage it can take to ask for help.

Participants will join a nationwide show of support held simultaneously in Brisbane, Cronulla, Karratha and Canberra. Every step is designed to raise awareness, build community and contribute to a stronger support network for Australia’s veterans.

Date: Saturday, 5 December 2026
Time: 11am to 10pm
Location: Felons Brewing Co, Brisbane
Distance: 21 kilometres
Entry: Free

Whether running, walking or using a scooter, participants are invited to take their place on the start line and carry the weight together in support of veteran mental health.

Please mention you found this event via KeepActive when contacting the organiser — thank you for your support!
