12 Hills of Xmas
12 Hills of Xmas is an annual festive run held in Currumbin at Wallace Nicoll Park on December 18, 2026. The in-person event follows a hilly loop through the streets of Currumbin, described as roughly twelve hills, and includes a post-run feed and an opportunity to finish with a dip.
There is also a Virtual 12 Hills option that allows participants to complete their own choice of hills, loops, or repetitions away from the event location. Both the in-person and virtual options are listed with no entry fee.
Participants are encouraged to wear costumes or standard race kit, and event singlets and shirts are available for purchase for those who want them. The event takes place on the last Friday before Christmas and is framed as a casual, community-oriented finish to the year of running on the Gold Coast.
The description emphasizes a lighthearted tone about the course difficulty and social aspects rather than competitive elements. The event location is Wallace Nicoll Park, Pacific Parade, Currumbin QLD, Australia. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
