Bridge to Brisbane 2024

Lace up your running shoes and get race day ready as The Sunday Mail Transurban Bridge to Brisbane returns on Sunday, September 8, 2024.

Join 30,000 runners and walkers of all ages and abilities as they take to Brisbane’s streets and iconic Gateway Bridge in Brisbane's biggest and best fun run.

Brisbane's beloved annual event celebrates community, raises much-need funds for many local charities, and attracts some of Brisbane’s favourite personalities to its colourful, entertainment-packed course.

The Sunday Mail Transurban Bridge to Brisbane offers an unrivalled opportunity to experience Brisbane’s iconic Gateway Bridge, landmarks, and locations over a 10km and 5km course.

The 10km course begins at the Murarrie end of the Gateway Bridge (Sir Leo Hielscher Bridge), crosses the Brisbane River to Eagle Farm, and then travels along Kingsford Smith Drive to Newstead and Bowen Hills before finishing at Brisbane Showgrounds.

The leisurely 5km course starts at Hercules Park, Hamilton before winding along Kingsford Smith Drive, looping back through Bowen Hills, and finishing at Brisbane Showgrounds’ festive Finish Village.

Last year's event sold out in advance and raised more than $1.2M for over 300 Queensland charities including The Courier-Mail Children’s Fund, Ronald McDonald House Charities South East Queensland, The Children’s Hospital Foundation, Mates4Mates, The Pyjama Foundation, Anglicare Southern Queensland, and many more.

Love a bit of healthy competition?  Strut your stuff and show off your style in the Best Dressed competition or turn up the heat and crush your personal best with Transurban's #BeatTheBridgechallenge.  

All entrants receive a race t-shirt, race number, a finisher’s medal and certificate, their race time and free public transport to and from the event. This year’s race shirt will see a return to high-tech performance fabric and bright, blue colour – aligning with the event’s bold new look!
