Sandman 50 is a 50km running race from Old Dunsborough boat ramp to Busselton Jetty and back. The course is on the beach, with the nominal race line being within 3 metres of the water’s edge.
Start time for the next edition is 2am on Sunday 1 February 2026. For the avoidance of doubt, if you've seen the sun set on Saturday evening, you will be running on the beach before you see it again (at 5:41am on Sunday).
Entrants can do the entire race solo, or can compete in teams of two, doing 25km each, with the changeover at Busselton Jetty. Entry fee is $70 for solo runners ($60 for AUTRA members), and $95 for a relay team of two.
Relay Teams: Please note both members of the team must register. If you are a Team Captain (the person who creates the team and pays the entry fee), you will be asked to set a Team Access Code, and will be given a Team Link. Both these should be given to your team mate to allow them to join your team.
Refund Policy: Any entrant withdrawing more than 14 days prior to the race date will receive a full refund of the entry fee minus a $20 admin fee. There will be no refund for cancellations after this date.
Please note: There will be no refund on Tee Shirts. If you have bought a Tee Shirt, but then withdraw from the event prior to race day (or don't start), your Tee Shirt will be posted to you at the address on your registration.
