RUN GLADSTONE
2KMCOMMUNITY RUN
A welcoming 2 km event for young runners, families and anyone ready to join the Run Gladstone atmosphere.
RACE OVERVIEW
The Run Gladstone 2 KM is a welcoming community event designed for young runners, families and first-time participants. It’s a chance to share the start-line excitement and be part of the day without taking on a longer distance.
The one-lap route starts in the Gladstone CBD and heads towards Auckland Creek, following Flinders Parade towards East Shores. Runners turn near East Shores before returning to the shared CBD finish line.
The course will keep the experience accessible while delivering the same event energy and local support as the longer races. Every finisher receives a Run Gladstone finisher medal—a reminder of having a go and being part of the event.
