The Stromlo Running Festival (SRF) is a run steeped in history that has forged deep connections within Canberra since it was established in 2009, post 2003 bushfires. Co-founded by Australia’s marathon great Robert De Castella “Deeks”, the event champions strength, resilience, courage, and community.

Held annually, SRF 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, the National Arboretum, and the Brindabella ranges with three signature distances, 10, 30, and 50km plus a kids 2.5km cross country.
