South Brisbane Sailing Club hosts the start and finish, offering shady trees and a clubhouse before runners head out onto the riverside loop. The Half Marathon Championships, organized by Brisbane Road Runners, is a regular event in the club’s schedule, focusing on a solid run for participants of all abilities beside the water.
The course follows a 5.36km loop along the Brisbane River, incorporating the West End roads near Hill End Terrace and Riverside Drive. Runners will complete multiple laps, with clear kilometre markers provided by the club. The finish line is back at the Sailing Club, allowing supporters and runners to gather easily.
