The Bridge to Brisbane is an annual fun run raising much needed funds for many Queensland charities.
An estimated 30 thousand runners and walkers of all ages and abilities take to the streets in a colourful and entertainment packed course. The 10km run starts on the iconic Gateway Bridge, while the more leisurely 5km starts at Hercules Park at Hamilton. Both wind along Kingsford Smith Drive and end at the Finish Village at the showgrounds. Ambassadors and Seven Sport presenters Alissa Smith and Sally Pearson will be running to raise money for Children’s Hospital Foundation and they’re taking some friendly rivalry to the start line. But it’s all for a good cause – last year participants raised more than $1.2 million for Ronald McDonald House Charities South East Queensland, The Children’s Hospital Foundation, Mates4Mates, The Pyjama Foundation, Anglicare Southern Queensland and many more.
