Thousands of Bridge to Brisbane runners, walkers and wheelers will celebrate their achievement at the Brisbane Showgrounds on Sunday, as the precinct once again hosts the fun run’s Finish Village.
Participants in the 5km and 10km runs will cross the finish line at the Brisbane Showgrounds before heading into Finish Village in Sideshow Alley to recover, refuel and celebrate with friends and family.
Finish Village will feature a dedicated recovery area, entertainment and food trucks, creating a festival atmosphere for participants and supporters following the race.
More than 40,000 people are expected to take part in this year’s Bridge to Brisbane, with both the 5km and 10km runs sold out as the much-loved event marks its 30th anniversary.
Brisbane Showgrounds General Manager of Venue Sales and Marketing Jago Coyle said the venue was proud to once again host the event’s Finish Village.
“We’re delighted to be part of such an iconic Brisbane event and to welcome Bridge to Brisbane participants back to the Showgrounds for the sixth consecutive year,” he said.
“The 30th anniversary is a significant milestone for Bridge to Brisbane, and we’re proud that the Brisbane Showgrounds continues to be part of the event’s story, having also been involved from 1997 to 2015.”
Race number collection will take place at the John Reid Pavilion at the Brisbane Showgrounds from tomorrow until Saturday, ahead of race day on Sunday 13 September.
The Brisbane Showgrounds precinct is located 1.5km from Brisbane’s CBD and is Queensland’s largest indoor/outdoor events site. Visit www.brisbaneshowgrounds.com.au
