Run the River
A fun, social morning that blends fitness, art, music, and Festival spirit.
Join us for a morning of fun, fitness, and Festival goodness as we Run the River! Our scenic 6km route is the perfect opportunity to experience the river city in a whole new way! Meet at 7:30am as we run from the Cultural Forecourt, over the Goodwill Bridge, through the Botanic Gardens, and over the Kangaroo Point Bridge in time for a well-deserved post-run party!
Keep the good vibes going as you and your new running mates enjoy sunny day rave beats by DJ Raul Pedro and freestyle dance performances by Mad Dance House. Want to keep up your sweat? Dance along or join in a variety of fitness challenges. Once you need a breather, coffee, hydration, and more goodies will be on standby!
There are limited spots available, so make sure to secure your place if you plan to Run the River with us!
