Stromlo Running Festival

Overview

The Stromlo Running Festival is an annual event held at Stromlo Forest Park, one of Australia’s best and most sought after dedicated off road running and cycling venues.

Co-founded by Australia’s marathon great Robert De Castella in 2009, the event celebrates the strength, resilience, and courage of the community in the years that followed Canberra's devastating 2003 bushfires.

There's a distance for everyone! Choose from 10 kilometres, 30 kilometres, and a 50 kilometres ultra-marathon plus a 2.5 kilometres kids cross country.

Stromlo Running Festival provides an opportunity for runners of all abilities to 'get off the road' and challenge themselves on wide open trails that take in sweeping views of Canberra, Black Mountain Tower, the National Arboretum, and the Brindabella ranges.
