Event Details
Course Description
The Logan Fun Run offers three mixed‑terrain routes across the scenic Griffith University Logan campus and Riverdale Park. The 2 km Colour Fun Run is a lively, family‑friendly loop on grass and dirt with colourful stations. The 5 km and 10 km races combine dirt, grass, gravel and asphalt, featuring sharp turns, short steep hills and longer cantered sections that test pacing and endurance. Runners will experience open parkland views, native vegetation and the university’s modern facilities, making each kilometre both challenging and visually rewarding.
Getting There
The race precinct is set at Logan Fields, Griffith University Logan in Meadowbrook. Free on‑site parking is provided in the carpark adjacent to the start/finish line.

Weather & What to Pack
May is late autumn in Queensland, bringing mild to warm days with typical highs of 18‑24 °C and cooler mornings around 12‑15 °C. Humidity drops compared with summer, and sunshine is common. Dress in layers – a light long‑sleeve or jersey with a breathable jacket for early morning coolness, and wear a hat or sunglasses for sun later. Stay hydrated, but you’ll likely need less water than in the summer months.
