解析：
试题分析: 趣味赛跑比赛中，有三种距离可以选择，参赛人群也没有限制。而今年的环绕布里斯班的趣味赛跑不仅意味着一个精彩的全家出动日，还刚好赶上了世界星球大战日，相信将十分精彩。
【小题1】A。文章主旨大意题。通过第一段This year's fun run around central Brisbane not only promises a fantastic family day out可知，今年的环绕布里斯班的趣味赛跑不仅意味着一个精彩的全家出动日。在文中和文章结尾部分都谈到了趣味赛跑，并提供了查询信息的方式。故选A。
【小题2】B。 May 4本来就是世界星球大战日，故排除A。根据第三段May the Force (fourth) be with you可知，May 4可以理解成“五月四日与你同在”，也可以理解成“愿力量与你同在”。不同的读法有不同的意思，故选B。
【小题3】D。细节题。根据倒数第三段QUT Running is offering all registrants free training sessions in the six weeks leading up to this event．赛跑举办方为所有的参赛者提供免费的训练活动。故选D。
【小题4】B。细节题。根据文章最后二段For more information on the QUT Classic，contact Cheryl Goodwin on 07 3138 9447 orc.goodwin
