Inaugural Australian Running Festival
Entries are now open for the inaugural Australian Running Festival.
This exciting new major event will incorporate The Canberra Times Canberra Marathon along with a Half Marathon, 10km and 5km fun runs for all abilities from serious runners to joggers, wheelchairs, pushers and walkers held in the Nation’s Capital from April 9-10, 2011.
Australia's oldest city marathon established in 1976 has been relaunched through an entirely new event over a spectacular course with perfect autumn weather expected for the first major marathon of the year.
The Festival will raise much needed funds for more than 500 charities and will be supported by local clubs, including the new YMCA of Canberra Runners Club. “The Australian Running Festival will have the support of Canberra runners who will be pleased that the new Canberra Times Canberra Marathon maintains the tradition of a marathon event in the April calendar. The marathon is expected to be nominated as a championship event by Athletics ACT and the ACT Veterans Athletic Club.” Club President Geoff Sims.
Organised by the team behind the world’s largest running event and supported by the ACT Government, Race Director Fred Taylor invites the local running community to get involved and help Canberra re-claim its position as Australia’s Marathon Capital by 2013 – for the Centenary of Canberra celebrations.
Fairfax Events and The Canberra Times produce a portfolio of major running events including The Sun-Herald City2Surf, The Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon, Rebel Sport Run4Fun and The Canberra Times Family Fun Run. With a proud history of delivering world-class, vibrant, inspiring and professional events since 1971, our running events attract over 100,000 participants each year. In addition to providing significant social and economic impact to local communities, more than $5 million is raised annually for charity.
After 30 years of involvement, CSM have moved on from the previous Canberra Marathon to focus on international opportunities.
