Rocky River Run

The Rocky River Run is a community fun run held in Rockhampton, following the banks of the Fitzroy River (Tunuba) and starting and finishing at the Rockhampton Riverside Precinct. Scheduled for Sunday 17 May 2026, the event is designed to bring together runners, walkers, families and teams for a scenic and accessible morning on the riverfront.

Participants can choose from four distances: a 21.1km half marathon, 10km race, 5km race and 2km fun run/walk. This range makes the event suitable for a wide variety of ages, fitness levels and goals, whether you are chasing a personal best, taking on your first event or simply enjoying a social outing.

The courses highlight Quay Street’s historic waterfront and riverside pathways, with a vibrant event atmosphere, supportive crowds and strong community feel adding to the experience. Rocky River Run is ideal for solo entrants or teams looking for a fun, well-supported running event in Central Queensland.
