A7 Register April Event: The President’s Long Run is on again in 2026. Like last year the run will span over a weekend with members welcome to attend on both days or just one. Our overnight stop will be at Esk.
The exact route is yet to be confirmed but the dates will be the 11th and 12th of April. Our current plan is to leave from Mount Cootha and head to Esk via Dayboro, Woodford and Somerset Dam.
After spending the night in Esk, we’ll head to the Walkabout Creek Discovery Centre that’s adjacent to Enoggera Reservoir. Sunday drivers can meet us there for lunch or at Mount Glorious for morning tea. The route will be tested sometime soon but it’s likely that we’ll cover around 220km on day one and maybe a bit over 100km on day 2.
There are multiple accommodation options including the Esk Caravan Park and Hotel. I’ve made some inquiries already and it seems that the single night stays fill up pretty fast so bookings will be essential. I’ll book a room at the Caravan Park or their nearby Valley Trail Motel, but most places are within walking distance.
