Defence Holidays NQ is proud to be a sponsor of Run Army Brisbane 2026, and we’re excited to be attending this incredible event in support of our
Defence members, veteran, and emergency services communities.
Run Army is more than just a fun run, it’s a powerful community event that brings together Australians to recognise the ANZAC spirit and show support for those who serve. Open to all ages and abilities, participants can choose from a 2.4km, 5km or 10km run or walk, making it an event the whole family can enjoy.
The 2026 Brisbane event will take place on Sunday, 29 March 2026, starting from South Bank, and will see thousands of participants take to the streets of Brisbane in a show of respect, resilience, and community spirit. If you are attending, make sure to visit Defence Holidays NQ in the event village to enter some exciting competitions.
Registrations are now open, and we encourage everyone to get involved, whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines.
