This memorable event starts on Grey Street in South Bank and offers a great chance for you to run or walk in support of an amazing cause, it is an experience not to be missed! The course takes in landmarks for our services such as the ANZAC Square, Macarthur Chambers, Kemp Place Fire Station, and Queensland Police Headquarters. If you’re up for the 10km, you’ll run over the Story Bridge and the William Jolly Bridge; and if you are doing the 5km, you’ll experience the Goodwill Bridge and the revamped Victoria Bridge.

Your official result will be available for viewing as the race unfolds with live tracking of your progress on course.

Overall finish line positions and times will be calculated on gun finish time for overall winners and personal chip finish time for all age category placings.
Loved it! Great to see the vehicles, bands and uniformed members out looking good and showing the public the fabulous Australian Defence Force.
Run Army is a fun run promoting resilience, teamwork and endurance.
We invite the community to join us in recognising the ANZAC spirit and push themselves physically and mentally alongside current serving soldiers, and our First Responders from the Queensland Police, Queensland Ambulance and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services.
Run Army participants will run and walk 5km or 10km.
Participants will be able to choose a charity beneficiary, with $5 from their entry donated to their chosen service.
Generally dogs are not permitted in major fun runs due the tripping risk to the public. Having said that, Run Army is about community and if you are walking, you may bring one dog per person and start at the back of the pack. Any dog must be on a short lead, they are not permitted if running and you will be asked to move off the course. If your furry friend is aggressive or can’t walk on a short lead, please leave them at home.
NOTE: Dogs will not be allowed in recovery or food areas.
Run Army is an individual event, but you’re more than welcome to enter as a group with friends and family! Group entries are now available on the website.
Instructions: When you get to the entry portal, in the “Select Activity” drop down select “Groups,” and then either create your group or join an existing group.
