About the race
The Horsham Running Festival 2027 takes place on September 12, 2027, at Sawyer Park beside the Wimmera River in Horsham, Victoria. The event is held on paths alongside the river and uses a certified 10.55 km loop that has been measured and certified by AIMS for use as a qualifying time for distance races worldwide.
Race options include multiple distances and a free children’s event. Distances offered:
- Marathon four laps of a 10.55 km course
- Half marathon two laps of a 10.55 km course
- Quarter marathon (run) one lap of a 10.55 km course
- Quarter marathon (walk) one lap of a 10.55 km course
- 5 km run or walk an anti-clockwise loop over the Anzac and Hamilton bridges
- 2 km Kids' Dash a free untimed event for under 12s starting from Sawyer Park
The festival is part of the Western Victoria Marathon Festival series, which also includes the Dimboola Dash and the Mildura Riverfront Marathon. Entering all three events for the same distance via the Dimboola site makes participants eligible for a Triple Crown medal and reduced combined entry fees. The event aims to attract regional and national runners, encourage local participation, and provide an additional annual challenge for the local running community.
