About the race
The Goulburn Running Festival is a multi-distance event held at Riverside Park, Goulburn, with race days in 2026 including a Race 2 on 18 October. The festival is presented by Goulburn Soldiers Club and offers a mix of competitive and family-focused races on a fully pathed, undulating course that follows the Wollondilly River.
Distances offered:
- Half Marathon
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2 km Family Dash
All distances are professionally chip timed by Multisport Australia. Finishers receive a Goulburn-themed 2026 finisher medal, post-race snacks, sponsor giveaways, and an online finishers certificate. Water stations will be available on course supplying water and Tailwind Nutrition; station locations are listed for each distance in event information. There are no cut-off times for the 2 km, 5 km, and 10 km events; the Half Marathon has a cut-off of 3.5 hours.
The 2 km Family Dash is aimed at involving children in outdoor activity; an accompanying adult can run with a child for an additional $10. The accompanying adult will not be timed and will not receive a finisher medal. Race bibs are printed three weeks before race day and posted two weeks out for those who opt for posting. Course routes are shared in the event course summaries. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
