The new finish line at the Ekka Showgrounds has opened up a range of great transport options to make getting to and from The Sunday Mail Suncorp Bridge to Brisbane fun run quicker and easier.
 
Participants can choose to park near the Ekka Showgrounds in Bowen Hills and catch the pre-paid bus to the 10km or 5km start lines before the race. Or do it the other way round and park near the 10km or 5km start lines then catch the pre-paid bus back to their parked car after the race. Pre-paid buses will depart from Costin Street near the Ekka Showgrounds. Hurry, you will need to pre-purchase a bus ticket for $3.00 per person from the Race Office prior to 4pm on Monday 1 September 2008 (unless sold out prior).
 
There are also some great public transport options available this year including trains and Brisbane City Council buses, which will be running their normal Sunday schedule. Tickets can be purchased at the station or on the bus. See translink.com.au for the latest timetable and ticket price information.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Competitor registrations received to date indicate that the train to Murarrie Station for the 10km race start will be FULL. This is the only train that will get you to the race start on time, so you should consider another transportation option for getting to the 10km start such as parking or catching the pre-paid bus.
