Dimboola Dash Running Festival

Dimboola, Victoria, Australia

On APRIL 11th 2027 the second Dimboola Dash Running Festival will be held on trails alongside the picturesque Wimmera River, starting from Dimboola and proceeding back and forth on a 7km trail section between Dimboola and the Lochiel Rest Area.

The event will offer a marathon and half marathon for runners, a 10km event for runners, a 10km event for walkers and a 5km walk or run option. There will also be a FREE 2km Kids' Dash. This will be a fun untimed event for U/12s.

This is a companion event to three other running festivals that organizer Brian Haddy has established in regional Victoria and NSW in recent years.

These events are:-

  • the Mildura Riverfront Marathon Festival to be held on 13th June 2027 (www.mildurariverfrontmarathon.com.au)
  • the Mad Max Marathon Festival to be held in Broken Hill on July 25th 2027 (www.madmaxmarathon.com.au)
  • the Horsham Running Festival to be held on 12th September 2027 (www.horshamrunningfestival.com.au)

The Dimboola, Mildura and Horsham events have been grouped into the Western Victoria Marathon Festival Series and there are some terrific fee savings if you sign up for the same distance in all three of the longer events (marathon, half and 10km run). However you must pre-pay for all three events before the Dimboola event to access these savings. A special Triple Crown commemorative medal will be awarded at the Horsham event (in addition to the Horsham medal) to all those who complete all three runs in their chosen distance

The aim of the Dimboola Dash Running Festival is threefold – to attract runners from all over Australia to this historic country town; to encourage more local children and adults to get into the running ‘habit’; and to provide an additional annual running challenge for the local parkrun and running community.
