Event Details
Course Description
The Splash & Dash course starts and finishes at the historic Centenary Pool in Spring Hill, winding through Brisbane's inner‑city streets. Runners enjoy a predominantly flat, paved route that loops past heritage homes, leafy avenues and the river‑front parklands near the CBD. The layout is designed for fast times with gentle turns and minimal elevation change, making it ideal for personal bests or a relaxed run. Along the way you’ll glimpse the skyline and the vibrant atmosphere of nearby cafés and gardens. Whether tackling the 5 km sprint or the full marathon, the course offers clear signage and a supportive crowd.
Getting There
The race is held at Centenary Pool, 400 Gregory Terrace, Spring Hill. Parking around the pool is limited, so arrive early and be prepared to walk a short distance from your car. Public transport options include nearby bus stops on Gregory Terrace and a short walk from Central railway station. For exact parking locations, fees and transport details, check the official event website.
