Gumbuya World Running Festival 2027
Gumbuya World Running Festival takes place at Gumbuya World Theme Park on Princes Highway in Tynong North, Victoria, on 14 February 2027. The event offers closed-road races through local countryside and three distance options:
- 10 km
- 5 km
- 2 km Family Dash
Race entries include full-day access to Gumbuya World theme park after the race, early entry for runners before the park opens to the general public, and free race-day photographs. Participants receive a themed medal, sponsor giveaways, post-race refreshments, and a personalised finisher certificate.
Entry and transfer policies are published for the event. Entries can be transferred to another person or between distances up to three days before the event; a $15 administration fee applies for transfers. Refunds are scaled by timing: 75% refundable up to six weeks before the event, 50% between four and six weeks, 25% between two and four weeks, and no refunds within 14 days of the event. Specific conditions apply for seasonal pass holders and extreme weather closures, including a $30 refund for non-season pass holders if the park cannot open due to extreme weather.
Volunteer roles are available for race-day support; volunteers receive event merchandise, complimentary entry to a future race to the value of A$60, and a post-event breakfast. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
