About the race
The 12 Hills of Xmas is an annual festive run held in Currumbin, Queensland at Wallace Nicoll Park on Friday, December 18, 2026. The event is centred on a hilly loop through the streets of Currumbin described as "12 Hills (or close to it)," and it also offers a virtual option where participants complete their own choice of hills, loops, or repetitions. Entry to both the in-person and virtual options is free where listed. The event atmosphere includes optional costumes, an informal post-run feed, and an opportunity for a swim or dip after finishing.
Event singlets and shirts are available for purchase to participants who want event apparel. The community-focused format emphasises a social, end-of-year running occasion held on the last Friday before Christmas. The listing notes that participants may choose to run the full course or a shorter version, including just a few steps before the post-run refreshments. The description presents the course as hilly and playful in tone rather than competitive. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
