The Puffing Billy Running Festival continues a 40 year tradition of a foot race against the Puffing Billy steam locomotive that dates back to the 1980s!
Day one of the Festival will feature a 1.5km Kids Dash and a 5km Family Fun Run / Walk on Saturday 12 September at Emerald Lake Park, with the echoing toots and puffs of Puffing Billy propelling all participants forward!
Then, on Sunday 13 September, up to 3,000 participants take on the challenge of a lifetime, racing against two steam locomotives from Belgrave to Emerald in the heart-pounding 13.5 km 'Classic' Run.
Spectators looking to cheer on participants can embark on an unforgettable journey themselves, hopping aboard the iconic Puffing Billy and potentially even surpassing the racing runners!
The state-of-the-art Puffing Billy Lakeside Visitor Centre within Emerald Lake Park hosts the Festival’s Finish Zone precinct with free massages, family entertainment, music and sponsor activities.
