Running Races in Queensland

6 distances, 244 races: that is the spread Verus has found in Queensland so far, from 82 races at other distances, 39 10Ks, 38 5Ks, 34 half marathons, 27 ultra marathons and 24 marathons. Whatever you are training for, there is likely a start line here for it.

Racing here runs more or less year round — there is something on in 12 months of the twelve, with September the busiest. That makes Queensland unusually easy to build a season around, because you are rarely more than a few weeks from a start line.

Terrain varies more than a single figure for Queensland suggests. Of the 3 races here that publish an elevation figure, Beerwah at Daybreak 10K is the flattest at 0ft of climb and Blackall 100 100km the hilliest at 433ft — a difference large enough to change what a target time means.

On top of the races above, there are 139 parkruns in Queensland every Saturday morning, at no cost to enter — for most people here, that is where running actually started.

Every race links through to its own page with entry details, the course, elevation where the organiser publishes it, and a pace calculator. Spotted a race in Queensland that's missing? Suggest it and we'll research and add it.
