High Country Flyathlon - Howqua River

Howqua, Australia • 29 Nov 2025

High Country Flyathlon’s Howqua Edition is a trail-running event staged along the Howqua River as part of the Flyathlon Series. The race combines running with fly fishing: participants run with their rods and must try to catch a fish during the event, with bigger catches earning a larger time bonus. The atmosphere emphasizes camaraderie, beer, and conservation through recreation, supporting river conservation efforts. The 2025 edition is scheduled for 29 November, with registrations opening 7 September. The Delatite Edition is closed for 2025, and the Jamieson Edition is planned to return “one day.” Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
