SATURDAY 8TH & SUNDAY 9TH MARCH 2025

4.5km RAPID RIVER RUNS
(SATURDAY & SUNDAY)

LOCATION: Warburton Recreation Oval (event HQ)
START TIMES: 9.30am (SAT) & 9am (SUN)
ASCENT: 80m (approx)
CUT OFF: NONE
RECORD (RAPID RIVER RUN#2): 16:31 / David Lipman. Expected final finisher 1 hour.

This run route is classic Warburton: groomed single track (check image below), some little lumps and bumps and swoops to keep this interesting, but a sensational loop run that skirts the Yarra River all the way! A great introduction to Warburton township and the delights of its Yarra River setting... and a great one for the kids or an adult fun run cruise. 

With two editions over the weekend - one on Saturday and one on Sunday - the course is designed to give those runners wanting a shorter distance at pace or just a leisurely park run kinda fun run. We're good like that – trying to please everyone. It's a great run. Even hardcore fans will love it, because it feels fast. But you don't HAVE to run it fast. You can be slow. There's no pressure or cut offs. Yay for inclusiveness. (Yes, we voted YES!).

And back for another year at WTF, if you want pure zero competitiveness, The Body Positive Stomp (Sunday) follows the same 4.5km course, designed for all comers no matter your fitness or experience. No timing. All trail ;-) 

There are rapids beside you. Which means a river. Sooo... Rapid River Run it is. Whether you choose to RUN it rapidly or not is a whole other question... no pressure at all, by the way. In your own time.

THERE ARE NO MANDATORIES. EXCEPT HAVE FUN!
