The Stromlo Running Festival is an annual event held at Stromlo Forest Park, one of Australia's best and most sought-after dedicated off-road running and cycling venues.
Co-founded by Australia's marathon great Robert De Castella in 2009, the event celebrates the strength, resilience, and courage of the community in the years that followed Canberra's devastating 2003 bushfires.
There's a distance for everyone! Set over two days, choose from 5 kilometres, 10 kilometres, 15 kilometres, 30 kilometres, 42.2 kilometres marathon plus a 2.5 kilometre kids cross country.
Stromlo Running Festival provides an opportunity for runners of all abilities to 'get off the road' and challenge themselves on wide-open trails that take in sweeping views of Canberra, Black Mountain Tower, and the Brindabella Ranges.
