Gladstone Ports Corporation 5k Race Beginning along the beautiful Quay Street, the Rocky River Run 5km course will take you along the river and past Rockhampton’s iconic Customs House before you cross over the Fitzroy Bridge (The Old Bridge), run through Queens Park and return over the Rail Bridge. You’ll finish with a nice straight stretch back along the picturesque Fitzroy River, before crossing the finish line. Known as one of the flattest running festival courses on offer, the Rocky River Run 5km race is the ideal race for those wanting to get into running or improve their fitness. With many entrants also choosing to walk the 5km, the race places a heavy emphasis on fun rather than performance, which takes the pressure off first-time runners who may be concerned about having to maintain a set pace. It’s a perfectly manageable event for kids, or race together as a team. The 5k Race is sponsored by Gladstone Ports Corporation .
