In 2026, Cairns 50 comes to you bigger and better than ever!
The weekend starts on the Saturday afternoon with the Family Fun Day. Including the Family 5k and the Kids 1k and 2k, it's a fun introduction to running for the kids and adults alike. The kids can enjoy tonnes of activities including jumping castles, face painting and much more. Then of course, the Cairns Endurance Sports Expo with a range of sports organisations and businesses.
The weekend finishes with the blue ribbon event, the Cairns 50 Ultramarathon. Sunday morning also includes Cairns 30 and Cairns 10 - something for everyone! But don't head home just yet as we celebrate all your achievements at the Presentation Party held at the Cairns Harbourside Hotel.
