Event Overview
The Goulburn Race Series returns to Riverside Park in Goulburn with race 2 scheduled for Sunday 18 October 2026. Athletes can choose from a 21.1km half marathon, 10km, 5km, or a 2km Family Dash. The event is chip timed (except the accompanying adult option in the Family Dash) and includes a 3.5-hour cut-off for the half marathon, with no cut-off times listed for the shorter distances.
What the Course Demands
The course is described as fully pathed and undulating as it loops around the Wollondilly River. Expect sustained rhythm running with regular changes in effort rather than long, uninterrupted flat sections. The half marathon has multiple aid points listed across the route, supporting pacing and fuelling, while the shared-path setting means athletes may need to stay aware of other pedestrians and cyclists during the run.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners looking for a well-supported regional race with several distance options on the same day. The half marathon is a fit for athletes aiming to execute a controlled effort across rolling terrain within the stated cut-off. The 10km and 5km offer a simpler entry point for newer runners or those returning to racing, while the 2km Family Dash is designed for juniors and accompanying adults.
