Fun Run

Calendar

Fun runs are the heartbeat of Australian running — big, friendly, mass-participation events where the focus is on taking part, raising money and having a great morning out. This group brings together the country's classic mid-distance runs, from 6km and 12km community events to iconic 14km journeys like Sydney's City2Surf, the City-Bay in Adelaide and Perth's City to Surf. You'll also find scenic trail and rail-trail runs of every shape across this range. Welcoming to runners, joggers, walkers, prams and costumes alike, fun runs are the perfect first event and a highlight of the calendar for tens of thousands of Australians each year. Find one near you and join the crowd.
