WHAT'S IN STORE ON THIS TOUR?
Brisbane is gearing up to host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, a milestone that will reshape Australia's low-ego civic-centred capital city. On this sightrunning tour, you'll explore Brisbane's Olympic journey while discovering the sporting culture, infrastructure debates, and Indigenous heritage that define this river city's identity.
The tour starts at The Landing, on the bank of the Brisbane River. You'll run along the riverside path through the Queensland University of Technology campus, past the historic Parliament House, and through the lush City Botanic Gardens. Crossing the striking Kangaroo Point Bridge - built with Olympic access in mind - you'll follow winding paths beneath our iconic volcanic cliffs where climbers might be spotted, then continue through South Bank, the vibrant riverside precinct born from the legacy of hosting World Expo 88.
Along the way, you'll hear about the controversial stadium decision at Victoria Park and learn how Brisbane's Olympic bid emerged victorious during the pandemic. You'll discover Australian sporting values like mateship
and the fair go
attitude, run past the Queensland Academy of Sport where Olympic legends emerged, and learn about events making their official Olympic debuts. The tour ends at the Neville Bonner Bridge viewing platform, named after Australia's first Aboriginal federal parliamentarian, where you'll imagine the cityscape transformed for the 2032 Games.
