Brisbane’s Great South Run Festival in 2020 will again be based in Paradise Road Park on Paradise Road Algester. All events will take place wholly along the newly surfaced and super fast IAAF-AIMS certified Paradise Road course.

Paradise Road Park is a short 400m walk along Sheep Station Gully from either Triantha St or Yorrell St Algester.

The Queensland Athletics State Half Marathon Championships in 2020 will see a record number participants.

Participants, supporters, clubs and sponsors and are encouraged to set up a marquee in Paradise Road Park on Saturday afternoon from 4:00pm to 5:00pm. Motor vehicle access to Paradise Road Park during this time for tent drop off will be only via the north gate of Paradise Road (near Gardens Dr). Traffic Controllers will be in attendance, let them know you’re dropping off a marquee. Please note, the south gate of Paradise Road near Radius Dr will be closed.

General entry is open to all comers. Championship entry is open to all Queensland and Northern NSW registered Qrun and Queensland Athletics club members.

Brisbane’s Great South Run – in its fourth year in 2020 – is one of Queensland’s fastest IAAF-AIMS certified half marathon courses.

The 2019 event attracted more than 1400 local, interstate and overseas competitors with many setting personal bests.

Branch Manager Mark Coxhead said, “The Acacia Ridge Community Bank Branch is delighted to announce its support for Brisbane’s Great South Run 2021 – for the fifth year. We understand the significant role that grass root sporting events, clubs and community groups play in building the fabric of a local community and in bringing people together. It’s an honour for us to support the thriving local running community.

The Community Bank Branch was established in Acacia Ridge in 2006 and since then has given nearly $1m back to the local community. The local Community Bank team is fully committed to helping locals with all their banking needs.”
