About the race
Gumbuya World Running Festival is a road-closed running event held at Gumbuya World Theme Park in Tynong North, Victoria. The event offers three distances:
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2 km Family Dash
The course runs north from the theme park along Brew Road toward Tyrnong Quarry, with an out-and-back layout that finishes inside Gumbuya World. Race entries include full-day access to the theme park, early exclusive access before the general public, free race day photos, a themed finisher medal, sponsor giveaways, post-race refreshments, and a personalised finisher certificate.
All distances are chip timed by Multisport Australia. Multiple water stations on the course provide water and Tailwind Nutrition. The 2 km Family Dash is aimed at children and allows an accompanying adult to run; the accompanying adult will not be timed and will not receive a finisher medal. There is a cut-off time of 1 hour and 35 minutes for the 10 km to allow roads to reopen. Spectator passes include full day admission to the park so spectators can watch and then enter the park before the general public time.
