Brisbane Runners Chase Two Major July Events: Guzzler Festival, Jetty 2 Jetty

The Guzzler Ultra Trail Running Festival is occurring now at Mt Coot-tha with races running across July 18-19, 2026.

Trail Running Festival Underway

Mt Coot-tha provides the setting for the Guzzler Ultra Trail Running Festival this weekend. The event draws participants to the hills for timed trail distances on the current dates. Runners can use the terrain to test endurance ahead of other planned races.

Fun Run on Sunday

The Jetty 2 Jetty Fun Run is scheduled for Sunday, July 19, 2026, at Pelican Park, Clontarf. The course starts from the waterfront location and offers a flat option for those seeking a shorter or social run on the same day the Guzzler festival concludes.

Championships Next Week

The Brisbane Road Runners Club 10 Mile Championships will take place on Sunday, July 26, 2026, in West End. Club members and other entrants can prepare for the measured distance on local roads in that neighbourhood.

August Events on the Horizon

Major upcoming events include the Brighton Running Festival and the Run2Cure Neuroblastoma Brisbane, both listed for August 16, 2026, at New Farm Park. These fixtures give runners additional targets once the July races finish.

Weekly Community Options

Free weekly community running options include the Saturday morning parkrun at various Brisbane locations and the Bulimba Triathlon/Running 5km community event. These regular sessions remain available for consistent training between the larger events.

Participants can review the listed dates and venues to plan entries. The sequence of events from this weekend through late July supplies a focused block of opportunities for runners of different experience levels in Brisbane.
