Canberra Runners – Sunday 17 May 2026

Mark your calendars for Sunday, 17 May 2026, when runners from across the region take on one of Canberra’s most iconic running events.

This half marathon has been going strong for over 50 years, and it’s easy to see why! The course is beautifully undulating and takes you past some of Australia’s most recognisable landmarks, including Government House, Parliament House and the National Museum. It’s scenic, it’s spirited, and it’s a classic for a reason.

The 10km course offers its own spectacular journey, sending runners across Commonwealth Avenue Bridge and out to a turnaround point on Black Mountain Peninsula. Both events are fully timed, so get ready to chase those goals.

To keep you comfortable and connected on race day, the E2E marquee will be set up at the start/finish area, your home base for:
