Nightshift Run 12 Hour Relay Challenge 2026

The NightShift 12-Hour Relay Challenge will take place on October 23, 2026, at Walt & Burley, Kingston Foreshore, Canberra. Participants can run, jog, or walk a 6.4 km loop each hour to support Barnardos Australia in a community-focused night run. The course is a flat 6.4 km loop around Lake Burley Griffin, starting and finishing at Walt & Burley on the Kingston Foreshore. The route follows well-maintained roads with water views, city landmarks, and open spaces. A new start line opens every hour, allowing participants to complete a single lap or continue for the full 12 hours, totaling up to 77 km. The route is fully lit for safe night running. A final group lap will occur at 7 pm, followed by pizza and drinks.
