Stromlo Running Festival 2026 14th - 15th November 2026 The Stromlo Running Festival (SRF) is an annual destination trail event held in mid-to-late November. The event provides an opportunity for runners of all abilities to ‘get off the road’ and challenge themselves on trails that take in sweeping views of Canberra, Black Mountain Tower, and the Brindabella ranges. There's something for everyone! Choose from 6 bespoke courses: 5km, 10km, 15km, 30km, and returning for its second year, the marathon (42.2km) course based in our stunning home grounds of Stromlo Forest. Plus, our family-favourite, the kids' 2.5km cross country is back for more fun and festive finish lines.
