VISIT BRISBANE – GETTING TO YOUR HOTEL
Brisbane has an international airport only 20 minutes from Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park (KPCP), next to the sculpture “Venus Rising” or the iconic Joey’s Cafe on 29 River Terrace, South Brisbane.
Traveling into KPCP in East Brisbane is painless with multiple options available to you and your crew. Check out the Brisbane Airport Travel options into the city for full details – but briefly:
Taxi and rideshare options are about 20 minutes into the city.
Air Train is also about a 20-minute ride into the city and runs every 15 minutes in peak times and 30 minutes in off-peak times. The Air Train leaves from both Domestic and International Terminals and will drop you right in the CBD or South Bank, which is just over 1km away from our finish line.
Con-x-ion is a shuttle bus service that runs from both domestics and international terminals. Or grab an Uber or Ride share.
Your support crew might want to rent a car from the Brisbane Airport. This could help with supporting you on the day. (Unsupported racers will have a drop bag option at the major checkpoints).
