The Bonshaw Cup is the second oldest running event in Canberra. It was first contested in 1963 and began its life as exclusively a Navy event. It was later opened up to other services and the general public to develop relationships between Navy and the wider community. It continues to be one of the premier running events on the Navy sporting calendar.

The race distance is 6.4km, with the turn around point at the Old Bonshaw Receiving Station.
