For more experienced runners, the 10km course takes participants across the bridge before finishing at the Showgrounds. The Bridge to Brisbane allows runners to raise money for charity while enjoying Brisbane’s landmark runs.

Shuttles will conveniently transport runners to the start of both courses on race day. In addition to free transport, entry to this year’s Bridge to Brisbane includes an official t-shirt and a finisher’s medal and certificate.
