The Canberra Times Fun Run is back on 1 November 2026 - bringing determination, adrenaline, and inspiration to the streets of our capital.
Take on a fast, flat course past iconic landmarks like the Old and New Parliament Houses in your choice of four distances: the AIMS-certified Runner's World Half Marathon, 10K and 5K, or the Kids Dash. With pacers to guide you, it’s the perfect chance to hit a PB or complete your first race.
Post-run, unwind in the lively event village with entertainment, food & coffee stalls, and great vibes all around.
Grab your mates, get training, and join over 5,000 runners chasing their goals!
