Moreton Bay Running Festival
The Moreton Bay Running Festival is one of the standout community events on the calendar in the Moreton Bay Region, bringing together runners of all ages and abilities for a day that mixes fitness with a laid-back coastal atmosphere.
Set along the scenic foreshore of Redcliffe Peninsula, the event offers a range of distances to suit everyone, from casual walkers and first-time runners through to seasoned athletes chasing a personal best. Whether it is a short fun run or a longer distance challenge, participants are treated to ocean views, fresh sea air, and a course that is as enjoyable as it is rewarding.
The course itself winds along some of the peninsula’s most iconic waterfront stretches, passing parks, beaches, and open spaces that show off exactly why this part of South East Queensland is such a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. It is not just about the run either. The atmosphere on the day is a big part of the appeal, with families, spectators, and local supporters lining the route to cheer runners on.
Events like this play an important role in the local community. They encourage an active lifestyle, support local businesses, and bring extra visitors into the area. Cafes, restaurants, and shops across Redcliffe and surrounding suburbs often see a boost as participants and spectators make a full day of it.
For those travelling from Brisbane or further afield, the festival is an easy excuse to explore more of what Moreton Bay has to offer. From waterfront dining to relaxed weekend vibes, it is the kind of event that turns a simple run into a full coastal experience.
Whether you are lacing up your runners or just heading down to soak up the atmosphere, the Moreton Bay Running Festival is a great way to experience the region at its best.
