Due to the recent weather, this year’s Great Court Race scheduled for Wednesday 18 May, has been postponed to Semester 2.
The Great Court Race is one of The University of Queensland’s proudest traditions – a bucket list event for competitors and a must-see spectacle!
First held in 1985 to celebrate UQ’s 75th anniversary, the event is based on Cambridge University’s famed Great Court Run – immortalised in the film ‘Chariots of Fire’.
Headlined by the Men’s and Women’s Great Court Races, the event also includes 70m Sprint races, as well as College, Club and Staff Relays.
Spectators are not required to register to attend.
