2026 Weston Creek Half Marathon and 10km Fun Run
2026-03-15 08:00 - 12:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Black Mountain Peninsula, Garry Owen drive, Canberra, ACT, Australia
Weston Creek Athletics Club (Canberra Redbacks) is proud to announce the 40th running of our iconic half marathon on Sunday 15th March 2026, along with our 10 km community fun run. A commemorative medal has been minted for the half marathon to mark this milestone.

To further mark this milestone, we will invite previous outright half marathon winners to participate for free.
The price for the half marathon has not risen for several years and a modest increase of $10 has been decided, in part to cover the cost of the medal. The cost of the 10km community fun run has not been increased this year.
Online registration opens on 1 October 2025 and closes at midnight on 10 March 2026. Register Here
The half marathon early bird entry fee is $60 and $30 for the 10 Km. These fees will apply up to midnight on 27 December 2025 when a second level of fees of $75 and $40 respectively kick in until midnight on 27 February 2026. Then until online registrations close at midnight on Tuesday 10 March 2026 the late fees will be $95 and $50 respectively. ACTMA members, Canberra Runners members and Griffins running the half marathon are eligible to enter for a discount of $10 from 28 December 2025 until 27 February 2026, i.e. there will be no additional discount during the early bird and late fees period.
Relay teams of two or three runners in the half marathon pay a set fee of $90 per team, regardless of when they register. The first runner will start with the rest of the individual runners but carry a baton with an electronic chip, rather than an e-bib, which they hand to the next runner at the changeover point.
Race Information:
A formal presentation ceremony will be conducted after the event to present medals, accompanying gift vouchers and many lucky draw prizes.
Gift vouchers and medals not collected on the day may be collected from the Runners Shop in Colbee Court, Phillip, at your convenience.
There is a time cut-off for completion of the event of 3 hours 30 minutes.
Canberra Redback medals and Runners Shop gift vouchers will be awarded to the first three males and females of both the half marathon and 10km. The first male and first female in the half marathon will receive a keepsake trophy and have their names engraved on the perpetual trophy. Masters age group winners in both events will receive Runners Shop vouchers and a Canberra Redbacks medal. There will be an abundance of random pre-drawn barrel draws with gift vouchers, wine or physiotherapy exercise aids as prizes.
Race Bibs may be collected from the Runners Shop, Dundas Court Phillip, from 0900 on Thursday 12th March to 1700 Saturday 14th March, or from 0700 before the race on Sunday morning at the race starting area near the main toilet block at Black Mountain Peninsula. Please allow sufficient time to collect your bib if you intend leaving bib collection to the Sunday morning.
Injuries Policy: What happens if I have entered and suffer an injury during training which prevents my participation? Unlike most event organisers, we offer four options if the injury occurs up to two weeks from the event start:
1. Transfer you from the half marathon to the 10 km event, if you can run that far.
2. Be transferred to the 2027 event: or
3. Arrange a partial refund if the injury is debilitating.
You will need to email me at robbie.costmeyer@bigpond.com to arrange any of these options, which must be exercised before 10th March 2026.
4. The Race Roster portal allows you to transfer your entry yourself to a fellow runner at any time before March 10th, 2026.
Should the event not be able to take place on 15th March for any reason then participants will be notified of a rescheduled date.
Race Day:
The Half Marathon will start at 08:00 while the 10km will start at 08:15. The start line is at the main toilet block at the far end of Black Mountain Peninsula. Please ensure that you cross over the e-timing mat at the start of the race to ensure that you are timed. With some luck, this event may again coincide with the Balloon Festival, which would present some spectacular views along the course.
Clothing and other gear may be left under cover near the start line where the presentations will take place after the race.
The finish line is now adjacent to the presentation area near the start line! You must cross over the e-timing mat to record a time. There will be hot cross buns, fruit and drinks in the adjacent presentation area.
Relay Teams: The second and third Relay runners must find their own way to the changeover points. For teams of three, the 7 and 14 km mark are at the same spot, which is on the bike path going out just before the Cotter Road Bridge. For Relay teams of two the change-over point is at the event turn around point at 11.1 km.
Further details about the event will be emailed to entrants prior to the day.
Welcome back past participants! Invite your friends to join you in the running of this iconic annual event.
