Springsure Mountain Challenge

The Springsure Mountain Challenge (SMC) on 10 May 2026 is a family-friendly, community fundraiser trail walk/run through the scenic Minerva Hills National Park. Funds raised each year go towards life-saving services and organisations essential to rural regions, as well supporting local health projects. Distances include the original SMC 17km course, plus a new 32km long course for those wanting an extra challenge. With the introduction of a 10km, 5km & Minis Mile in 2026, there’s something for the whole family. The long course takes in the most scenic of views from top Minerva Hills lookouts, and also includes the best sections of the 17km and 10km course as well. The event encourages participants of all ages and fitness levels to get outdoors and active, at their own pace. The township of Springsure is located in Queensland's Central Highlands, 335km west of Rockhampton. Please refer to the event Facebook group for further details and updates.
