Belmont, Australia • 1 Mar 2026

Geelong River Run : Geelong, VIC

The Geelong River Run is a community road and trail event along the banks of the Barwon River at Barwon Valley Park, Barrabool Road, Belmont on March 1, 2026. The event offers a riverside route with options for participants of different preferences and paces.

Event distances include:

  • 10km run
  • 5km run/walk

The event is presented as a family friendly, professionally organised morning focused on connection and community. Organisers note accessible and inclusive options for a range of ages and abilities. Finishers receive a medal, and early entrants may opt for personalised race bibs. Major event support is provided by sponsor Steigen and a group of local partners.

For 2026 the 10km course follows a revised route because construction has closed part of the river path. The event also incorporates fundraising activity in support of River's Gift, with a reported community and charity contribution so far of $259,974. Registration and race result details are published by the organisers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
