Townsville Bushland Beach Ramble Run 2026

The Townsville Bushland Beach Ramble Run begins at 6:30 AM from the park at the end of Mount Low Parkway in Bushland Beach, north of Townsville, Queensland. This Townsville Road Runners club event offers short-format options: typically a 4km course and an 8km course, with a junior route of approximately 3km. Members participate without charge, while non-members incur a modest entry fee, positioning it within the local club-run sphere rather than the major event circuit. The courses incorporate beach path, sand, suburban streets, shared paths, dirt trails, and parkland, concluding near the beachside park. The 4km route follows Mount Low Parkway, then crosses parkland and residential streets. The 8km route includes additional suburban sections, Lionel Turner Drive's football fields, and a challenging set of stairs before the beach finish. Club points are awarded, and participants traditionally gather for a barbecue breakfast post-run.
