Australian Running Festival

Canberra

There’s not a lot better than feeling the burn and getting some air in your lungs! At QT we love to pound the pavement – whether it comes with a stress-relieving jog after work, or a casual stroll around Lake Burley Griffin on Sunday morning. The Australian Running Festival is an annual event held in the second week of April that incorporates the Canberra Times Marathon, a Half Marathon and a handful of smaller fun runs for runners, joggers and walkers of all abilities. Participating in the events not only takes you through, past and around some of Canberra’s most iconic and historic spots, but also is a great means of raising funds for some very worthy charities such as The Heart Foundation and the Australian Cancer research Foundation.

Or, if you’d like to participate in another way the Festival always requires volunteers and extra pairs of hands to help out on the day. If you think this sounds more like your style, head here.
