What is Run Army?
Run Army is a fun run promoting resilience, teamwork and endurance.
We invite the community to join us in recognising the ANZAC spirit and push themselves physically and mentally alongside current serving soldiers, and our First Responders from the Queensland Police, Queensland Ambulance and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services.
Run Army participants will run and walk 5 km or 10 km around Brisbane CBD.

Anyone can create a team. Invite friends, colleagues, club members to join your team. Any number of people can join a team.
