Event Overview
The Kedron Running Festival is scheduled for 27 September 2026, starting from Shaw Park in Wavell Heights, Northern Brisbane. The inaugural edition offers four events: 21.1km, 10km, 5km, and a 2km Family Dash. Courses follow the Kedron Brook corridor and are professionally chip timed by Multisport Australia. The Half Marathon has a 3.5-hour cut-off, while the 10km and 5km have no stated cut-off times.
What the Course Demands
The organiser describes the route as flat and fast, which puts the focus on steady pacing and efficient rhythm rather than managing sustained climbs. With the event based around a shared public path network, runners should be prepared to stay aware of other users on course. The Half Marathon’s 3.5-hour cut-off sets a clear time requirement for those targeting the longest distance.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners looking for a straightforward, timed race option in Brisbane across common distances, from a short Family Dash through to a Half Marathon. The flat profile will appeal to athletes aiming to run evenly and measure progress over 5km, 10km or 21.1km. It also works well for newer participants who want an organised event with simpler logistics and a central start area.
