Queensland Half Marathon

We would like to bring to your attention information regarding the Qld Half Marathon for this year.

The Race Promotions team have decided that Qld Half Marathon will not go ahead in 2024.

We know that we have a dedicated support crew of runners and helpers who have enjoyed taking part in this event over the past years. However, the cost of road closures and increase in general costings of hosting a small event have significantly increased in the past year making it no longer viable. We had applied for grants and sponsorship, but unfortunately have been unsuccessful in gaining sufficient funding to help cover the event going ahead.
We would like to thank all the enquiries and offers of help.

We wish you all the best with your training and events, and look forward to see you all on the road.

Thanks to everyone for supporting our event today. One of our fabulous volunteers has shared these photos from the Moora Park turn today on the half.
There will be more photos to come - our fantastic event photographer David will post them here once he has had time to go through them.
Until then, rest those weary legs! We heard plenty of PBs were achieved today!

Live results are available via this link https://results.sportseventservices.com.au/16287/qldhalf23
Thank you to Sports Event Services for their expertise today in recording results.

Queensland Half Marathon

Spectacular scenes this morning as we tested out the course for tomorrow’s Qld Half. Online entries are now closed but we will be taking race morning entries on-site at Decker Park until 15min before each start time. A $5 late fee will be charged for race morning entries - and donated to the Hear and Say Foundation.

Looking to simplify your life on race morning? A few extra minutes of sleep? A great chance to pick up some extra race supplies ...
then...
visit Wildfire Sports & Trek - Douglas St, Milton between 11am and 2pm on Friday 9 June 2023 to collect your race number/timing ready for race morning. The team at Wildfire have a huge range of running related items including nutrition, hydration, socks and the latest running shoes!
Please note - only entries PRIOR to 6pm Thu 8/6/23 will be available to collect at this location.

Coffee this Sunday? The team from Madmacs Coffee will be onsite to take care of your pre and post race drinks!

/// SUNDAY

Great to support another local event - on Sunday we'll be onsite at Decker Park from the early hours for the Queensland Half Marathon. Expecting to see many of our friends from and there along with plenty of others who somehow feel the need to run when there's nothing chasing them. Crazy stuff, but it makes them happy (not as happy as the coffee afterwards does, let's be honest).

Fuel yourself!

This year's addition - 15km event has proved really popular. It's a great way to have a hit out before the GC half marathon 3 weeks later. The 21km is a great way to test your fitness before the GC marathon. Of course, we love hearing from people who are using our event as their training goal!
