After the Race

This race isn’t just about competing. It’s also about enjoying diverse communities coming together, sharing an experience, and talking about it. The best way to talk about it is over food and drinks!

A BBQ will be available at the start/finish area at the woolshed ($10).

After prize-giving there will be a Buffet Dinner available. This will be a delicious meal using local produce followed by live entertainment (auction, live band and dancing). It’s a great way to come together to share stories and make a great day last longer. Create better memories together!

Bookings are required for the Buffet Dinner ($40 per person). Book on the registration platform for yourself and as many family members and friends as you like. Get in early. Spaces are limited.
