FAQs about the Bridge to Brisbane

All the information is available on the Bridge to Brisbane website but we have highlighted some key information below for you.

There are two event distances to choose from – 5km and 10km. Our team will be participating in the 5km Blue Run (Walk/Wheel). To start together, we recommend selecting the estimated finish time that places you in the Purple Start Zone, which is ideal for walkers and social participants. This link shows the elevation of the course as there is quite a steep gradient coming out of the CLEM7 tunnel to be wary of.

There are Race Marshals positioned along the course to assist with any medical issues.
There are accessible toilets at the start and finish lines but not along the course.
Participants with a Companion Card who require a support worker should complete the Companion Form on the Bridge to Brisbane website after registering. Include a copy of your Companion Card and your entry confirmation number. The event organisers will then provide a free registration link for your support worker.
Spinal Life/Sporting Wheelies will not be providing any support staff for the event, so we encourage you to organise to have your support worker or friends and family join you in the race, especially if it is your first time.
