    Proudly presented by RSL Queensland, Run Army is a community running event with a difference.

    Founded by the Australian Army in 2021, Run Army promotes resilience, health and wellbeing while bringing the community together with current serving soldiers, veterans, first responders and volunteers. The event has grown from a small gathering at Gallipoli Barracks into a major community event attracting more than 10,000 people annually.

    Run Army is about more than crossing a finish line. It is an opportunity to challenge yourself physically and mentally, recognise the ANZAC spirit and show your support for the people who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting our communities.

    Run, walk, fundraise, donate or rally your family and friends to join you. Everyone is welcome.
