What’s new for Bridge To Brisbane in 2016?

They say change is as good as a holiday and here at Bridge to Brisbane Day HQ, we tend to agree, which is why we’re SO excited to let you in on some of the changes to race day in 2016 that will have you putting Bridge to Brisbane Day at the top of your bucket list!

TWO BRAND NEW ICONIC COURSES

10km

Kicking off near the top of Roma Street Parklands in Spring Hill, the 10km route will take you over not one… but THREE iconic Brisbane bridges (have your Instagram open and at the ready for this one… and make sure you use #BestTimeBNE while you’re at it!). But wait, there’s MORE! You’ll also power through two tunnels before crossing the finish line in scenic South Bank for a day full of fun. Post-race, all Bridge to Brisbane Day runners will be treated to a selection of ‘Bib-ileges’ from select venues on Little Stanley Street. Find out more about the new 10km course right here.
