New Farm Park sets the tone: a charity fun run on "beautiful, tree-lined paths" beside the Brisbane River, with heritage-listed fig trees along the way. Run2Cure Neuroblastoma Brisbane is built around raising funds for neuroblastoma research, giving it a local, purposeful feel where the running matters but the reason for showing up matters too.
The course is flat and family-friendly, using well-maintained park pathways and gentle road terrain through an "iconic riverside park." It suits beginners, runners chasing a neat effort, families, and children 6 and under, with "stunning river views" and the meaningful cause adding extra motivation when the legs start asking questions.
