Our goal is to deliver a world-class event which results in an unrivalled partnership, demonstrating support for serving members, veterans and the wider community.

Run Army is a great way for people to come together for a fun running event, alongside those who commit their lives to protecting them. It is a chance to say thanks for the job they do, and to show support for their efforts on this one special day of the year, in the lead up to Anzac Day.

We invite the community to join us in recognising the ANZAC spirit and push themselves physically and mentally alongside current serving soldiers, and our First Responders from the Queensland Police, Queensland Ambulance and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services. Run Army has already raised close to $1 million in support of Legacy, Queensland Police Legacy, The Firefighter Cancer Foundation, QAS Legacy, SES Gift Fund, and The Surf Life Saving Foundation.

Run Army is experiencing significant growth, aiming to increase participation at the Brisbane race, from 8,000 in 2025 to over 15,000 by 2027. On top of the current 5 kilometre and 10 kilometre races, 2026 will see the inclusion of a 2.4 kilometre course and a 15 kilometre Chiefs Challenge.

Run Army supports those who serve and stands united in our commitment to those who stand on the front lines for us every day. 100% of the donations goes directly to charity.
