Spring Hill will form part of the Brisbane course for the 2026 Run Army fun run, with the annual community fitness and fundraising event scheduled to move through the inner-city suburb.
Spring Hill On The 2026 Run Army Route
Run Army is a nationwide fitness initiative designed to promote physical activity, resilience, and mental wellbeing while raising funds for charities supporting first responders. In Brisbane, the event will be based at South Bank, with the mapped course extending into Spring Hill as part of its inner-city route.
The inclusion of Spring Hill places the suburb directly within the event footprint, rather than as a nearby or adjacent location.
Background Of The Event
Run Army is held annually across Australia and brings together community members alongside frontline service personnel. The event supports a range of first responder organisations, including the Queensland Police Service and the Australian Defence Force.
For participants running in support of Queensland Police, funds raised contribute to Queensland Police Legacy, a not-for-profit organisation established in 1971.
Supporting Police Families
Queensland Police Legacy provides financial and social support to families of serving or retired Queensland police officers affected by death or terminal illness. Assistance is available to families with dependent children, regardless of whether the loss occurred on or off duty.
Participation in Run Army directly contributes to the continuation of these support services.
Event Format And Schedule
The Brisbane Run Army event will take place on Sunday, 29 March 2026. Races will start from Grey Street at South Bank, with participants able to choose from 2.4km, 5km, and 10km run or walk distances, as well as a Chiefs Challenge combining longer distances. A virtual event option is also available.
Race village activities are scheduled to open from 7:00 a.m., with staggered start times from 6:45 a.m., subject to final operational approvals.
What Happens Next
Race pack collection will be held at several Brisbane locations in the days leading up to the event, including South Bank Piazza. With Spring Hill included on the official route, organisers expect local interest as the event again combines community participation, fitness, and fundraising.
