Stromlo Running Festival : November 14–15, 2026
The Stromlo Running Festival is a two-day trail running event held at Stromlo Forest Park in Canberra. The program includes multiple trail distances, a kids course, and community-focused services supported by local partners and volunteers. The festival is ITRA/UTMB indexed and lists the Indigenous Marathon Foundation among its charity partners.
Event weekend logistics include bib and shirt collection at the Stromlo Forest Park Event Hub with an event eve collection on Friday 13 November and event day collection available prior to each race. There is no prize presentation on the first day; prize presentations for races on the second day occur shortly after the first three male and first three female finishers cross the line. The University of Canberra operates a Recovery Hub on event day to provide post-run support.
The venue is described as purpose-built for running and cycling and offers visitor amenities and transport access. Stromlo Forest Park provides 487 paid parking spaces including a free 15 minute drop-off zone. The festival lists a range of sponsors and partners and highlights volunteer involvement and community resilience as central elements.
