Event Overview
RECC Run The World Relay is a twilight team relay held at Broadwater Parklands on the Gold Coast, scheduled for Friday 4 December 2026. Teams of four rotate through a looped course, with most divisions completing 4 x 5km. A junior option is listed as 4 x 2.5km. Divisions include open male, open female and open mixed, with junior mixed categories also offered.
What the Course Demands
The relay format shifts the focus to repeated, controlled efforts rather than a single continuous run. The course is described as flat and fast, using two loops within each leg, which can reward efficient pacing and quick transitions between runners. With multiple teams sharing the precinct and active footpaths in use, athletes should plan for close running, awareness around other park users, and clean handovers.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners who prefer a social, team-based race and want a structured way to test 2.5km or 5km repeatability under event timing. It works well for clubs and training groups aiming to share workload across four legs. The junior divisions make it accessible for younger runners, while open teams suit mixed-ability groups seeking a competitive relay setting.
