Home . About the Event

The Gladstone Ports Corporation’s Botanic to Bridge is the biggest event to sweep the Gladstone region, transforming the city into a vibrant hub for healthy, active living.

The first Botanic to Bridge was held on 22 August 2010, with an 8km and 3km course. Both events finished at the picturesque Gladstone Marina parklands where a Healthy Living Expo greeted participants at the finish line.

With up to $20,000 in cash prizes on offer, including $2,500 each for the first female and male to cross the finish line, the event is a must for both the serious runner and those who are looking to have some fun.

The Healthy Living Expo is a feast for the senses offering extraordinary food experiences, live entertainment and showcasing a diverse range of healthy living options.
