Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to Canberra events without a car?
Canberra's ACTION bus network covers the city, though it's more car-oriented than other capitals. Some events offer shuttle services from key locations. Check your event details for public transport options and consider ride-sharing if buses don't suit your timing. Many events have parking available.

What's the best season for Canberra events?
Spring (September-October) and autumn (March-April) are perfect—mild temperatures and clear days. Summer (December-February) is warm but can be intense. Winter (June-August) is cold and may freeze. Canberra's elevation means weather is cooler than eastern cities. Most events happen in spring and autumn. Cold mornings are common—dress in layers.

What types of in-person events can I find?
KeepActive lists events for different interests and fitness levels, including running events, walking events, cycling events, fun runs, and other community fitness events across Australia. Use the location and date filters to find options that suit you.

How does fundraising work in charity events?
Charity events typically ask participants to secure sponsorships (donations) from friends and family based on their participation or performance. You register, then share a fundraising link with your network. Funds go directly to the charity.

Do I have to fundraise to participate in a charity event?
Requirements vary by event. Some events ask participants to set a fundraising target, while others allow you to participate with just a registration fee. Check the event details to see what's expected.

How do I search for events in my area?
Use the search filters on this page to find events by sport type (running, cycling, walking), location (search by suburb or postcode), and date (this weekend, this month, or a custom range). Virtual events can be found by checking the Virtual & Online filter.

Is there a cost to register for events?
Most events have registration fees ranging from free to a few dollars. Some events offer free early-bird registration or family discounts. The registration cost is shown on each event's listing.

Will the event be cancelled if the weather is bad?
Physical events may be postponed or modified due to severe weather, but this is rare. Check your event's terms and conditions or contact the organisers directly for their weather policy. Most virtual events proceed regardless of weather since participants choose their own locations.

Are events accessible for people with different abilities?
Many events offer inclusive options like walking instead of running, different distance categories, or wheelchair-accessible routes. If you're getting started on your fitness journey, or if you have specific accessibility needs, contact the event organisers to discuss what accommodations are available.

What should I check before heading to an event for the first time?
Before your first event, visit the event page for specific details: start time, exact location, parking info, and public transport options. Arrive early to find parking or check transport timings. Check local transport websites (like PTV in Victoria, TripView in Sydney, etc.) for real-time updates on the day. Most events provide detailed logistics on their listing pages.
