The Canberra Times Fun Run

The Canberra Times Fun Run takes place on 1 November 2026 in south Canberra, Australia. Four road distances are on offer: the 21.1 km half marathon opens the day at 6am, followed by a 10 km, a 5 km and a 2 km, whose start times have not been specified. No course profile has been published.

The shortest race, over 2 km, points to an event open to families and children, while the dawn half marathon is aimed at well-prepared runners. This range of levels works well for groups: everyone picks their own distance and all finish within the same morning. For the 5 km and 10 km, a few weeks of regular running are enough; the half marathon calls for a weekly long run built up over at least two months, with race pace rehearsed in training.
