Event Details
Course Description
The Goulburn Running Festival is based at Riverside Park in Goulburn, with the event village near the Inclusive Playground off Quiberon Way. The organiser describes the course as fully pathed and undulating, running around the Wollondilly River, so there is no trail or loose surface to worry about. Four distances share the park setting: the Half Marathon, 10km and 5km, plus the 2km Goulburn Mulwaree Council Family Dash, which suits kids and first-timers. Races start staggered through the morning, with the 10km at 9:00am, the Half Marathon at 9:25am, the 5km at 10:30am and the Family Dash at 11:00am. Interactive course maps and an athlete event guide are published on the registration page, so check them for turn-by-turn detail before race day. Every finisher receives a Goulburn-themed medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways and an online finisher's certificate.
