SECONDARY SCHOOL DASH
Registrations for our Secondary School Dash are now closed. Registrations are still open for our 5K until 4pm, Saturday 9th March.
The Secondary School Dash course consists of a 1 mile / 1.6 kilometre lap of the asphalt Gosling Creek Reserve bike/running track. Participants start at the festival start area and head west following the running and bike path, going west to the northwest corner of the reserve. Runners will then make their way south west, turning toward the water, and then back east to the finish.
The Secondary School Dash will begin at 11:00am on Sunday 15th March, 2026.
The event site is open from 6am onwards, so come early, enjoy the running festival vibe and stay a while to celebrate after you finish!
