Led by Fitstop's Athletic Director, Andrew Papadopoulos ("Pap"), the Run The River Run Club is a 6km loop along the river showcasing the highlights of Brisbane Festival with stunning city views, live DJ beats, and an atmosphere that's equal parts fun run and street party.

Whether you're chasing a personal best or just here for the music, it's the perfect way to kick off your weekend.

Distance: 6km loop along the Brisbane River, snaking your way from South Bank through the Botanic Gardens to Kangaroo Point cliffs and back.
