Event Overview
The South 32 DnD Adventure Run 2026 is a festival running event held in Julia Creek, Queensland, with activities scheduled across Friday 17 April and Saturday 18 April 2026. The start area is listed at Kev Bannah Oval. Distances include an approximately 2km Dusty Kids Obstacle Challenge for ages 5–10, a 5km event open to youth and adults, and timed 10km and 15km races for adults (18+).
What the Course Demands
This event is built around optional, outback-style obstacles described as “challenge by choice”, allowing participants to attempt, modify, or bypass them. The longer adult races are positioned as competitive timed runs, and the organiser notes a pace guide of about 45 minutes per 5km lap. Expect interruptions to rhythm and pacing where obstacles are taken, with steady effort management more important than even splits.
Who This Event Suits Best
It suits runners who want a structured event within the Julia Creek Dirt n Dust Festival program, including families and newer runners via the 2km and 5km options. The 10km and 15km categories are aimed at adult runners looking for a timed, competitive format, while still appealing to those who prefer a flexible approach because obstacles are optional.
