East Shores, Gladstone Marina Parklands, and Spinnaker Park define this run, with the course traversing GPC's waterfront parklands rather than city streets. The Gladstone Port to Park Fun Run offers a local morning on the harbour, where runners and walkers line up together and families are integrated into the field, not an afterthought.
Underfoot, it is mostly a flat, sealed path, allowing beginners to find their pace while quicker runners have room to move. The route follows the foreshore, featuring views across the Port of Gladstone and toward the Coral Sea. The race names—Koongo Dash, Koommonka Sprint, and Yallarm Family Run—recognize the Traditional Owners of the land. Expect many children, walkers, and regular runners on the pavement, contributing to a friendly community atmosphere along the waterfront.
