Bridge to Brisbane

The organiser describes the 10K in one sentence: “Kicking off at the Southern end of the Gateway Bridge, Murarrie, the 10km course will take you over the iconic Gateway Bridge and descend to the iconic Brisbane Showgrounds where you’ll cross the Finish Line and enter into the Race Village, full of fun and entertainment.”

The FAQ puts the start “at the bottom of the Gateway Bridge, Murarrie” and the finish “in the Showbag Pavilion via Gate 5, O’Connell Terrace, RNA Showgrounds, Bowen Hills”. Police-controlled road closures in 2026 ran “from Murarrie to Bowen Hills”, the two ends of the course.

The 2026 programme for the 10K ran: 6:00 am Wheelchair 10km; 6:10 am the Blue Zone (Elite), the Priority Orange Zone and the Red Zone; 6:20 am Gold Zone (Charity); 6:30 am Green; 6:50 am Yellow; 7:10 am Purple; 7:30 am Pink.

The organiser asks runners to “start in the correct starting zone according to the race number colour you are allocated” and recommends that you “arrive an hour before your start time”. The FAQ adds that the 10K start area closed at 7:45 am. Prams “are required to start at the back of their chosen start zone”.

The FAQ lists the 2026 cut-offs: the 10K start area closed at 7:45 am, the Inner City Bypass cut-off was at 11:45 am and the “Finish line closes at 12:00pm”. It says “Participants who have not reached key points by these times may be asked to move to the footpath or may not be able to continue on the closed course.”

The road closures page puts it on the roads: “police-controlled road closures will be in place from Murarrie to Bowen Hills”, with the “Majority of roads” closing from 3:00 am and reopening progressively, “All roads are scheduled to reopen by 12:30pm.”

For a private car or a rideshare, the organiser names one spot: Paringa Road, Murarrie. It is a drop-off point only, with no parking at the 10K start, and the organiser recommends public transport “where possible”.

In 2026, as the FAQ put it, “all participants receive FREE public transport on event day until 3pm”, shown by the race number. Extra trains to Murarrie Station left from 3:49 am, and event buses to the start ran from 4:30 am to 6:45 am; the transport page asks you to “allow at least 45 minutes to travel from the bus stop hubs to the start lines”. After the finish, trains left from Exhibition Station “right above the main exit from the Finish Village”. The FAQ says “a baggage drop service will not be available”.
