Weather & What to Pack
May in Brisbane brings pleasant autumn conditions ideal for running, with average temperatures ranging from 12-23°C. Expect mild mornings that warm up as the sun rises, with lower humidity compared to summer months. Early May can occasionally see cooler mornings, so bring a light layer for the warm-up. The risk of rain is moderate during this period. Sun protection is still important, so apply sunscreen and consider a cap. Hydration remains essential, particularly for the longer 10km and 15km distances.
