Athletes and casual walkers will gather on the Redcliffe Peninsula to test their limits on a fast, coastal track that has become a staple for fitness enthusiasts across the region.
Race Registrations and Event Timing
Organisers confirmed that registrations for the 2026 Jetty 2 Jetty Fun Run will open at 8 a.m. on Sunday, January 18, 2026. The main event is scheduled for Sunday, July 19, 2026, with activities running from approximately 5:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The Jetty 2 Jetty team released a holiday message encouraging past participants to take pride in their previous marathon achievements while preparing for the upcoming season.
Course Conditions and Categories
The event is known as South East Queensland’s longest-running community fun run and features an officially accredited course. The route starts and finishes at Pelican Park in Clontarf. It hugs the Moreton Bay coastline, offering views that stretch toward Scarborough and Moreton Island. The path is predominantly flat and paved, which organisers noted is excellent for runners aiming to set a personal best time.
Participants can choose from a wide range of distances to suit different fitness levels. The United Airlines Marathon covers the full 42.2 kilometres on a looped circuit, while the Half Marathon offers a 21.1-kilometre option. Shorter distances include a 10km run, which has a specific wheelchair category, as well as a 5km run and a 3km event often used by families and children.
Fees and Participation Inclusions
Early bird entry fees usually begin around $25.00 for the shorter distances, with costs rising as the race date draws closer. Registration packages typically include a race bib with a timing chip, a finisher’s medal, and either a race singlet or visor, depending on the chosen distance.
Community Impact and Logistics
The 2026 event has partnered with the I AM KIND Movement, a charity focused on building community through kindness initiatives. The race aims to welcome everyone from elite competitors to first-time runners.
Those planning to attend should be aware of local traffic changes. Street parking around Clontarf is available but tends to fill up quickly due to road closures required for the race. Shuttle buses are often arranged from designated parking areas to help manage the crowd. Residents and visitors should expect road closures along Hornibrook Esplanade and Oxley Avenue during race hours.
