12^th Annual Bribie Beach Bash

This iconic running event is now in its 12^th year. From a gentle 3km stroll or run through to the full 50 kms of the Bribie beach run there is an event for every member of the family. As always, the date is chosen to coincide with a very low tide, so that we run on the hard flat sand at the water’s edge. The beach itself is hard sand lightly pebbled in places with a few shallow creek crossings in the longer runs only.

The event is cheap to enter as it is run at a small profit with proceeds being given to our beneficiary Multiple Sclerosis Qld. It is an affordable day out for the family with a BBQ to follow.
