Sweat Vs Steam - Echuca
Sweat Vs Steam is a running event held along the Murray River through the historic Port of Echuca where participants race a paddle steamer to the finish line. The event offers multiple distances and uses the Scenic Drive route beside the river, with sections on dirt roads.
Distances include:
- 500 m Dash for juniors
- 1 km
- 5 km (half lap of the Scenic Drive)
- 10 km (full lap of the Scenic Drive)
The 10 km course includes an elevation gain of 8 m. Course maps are provided for the 5 km and 10 km routes. Race bib collection takes place at the Rotunda, Hopwood Gardens, with options for collection on the day or the pre-event collection period. The event is organised so that all profits are donated to support the local community, with funds directed to Echuca Regional Health.
Start procedures, detailed race-day schedules, finisher medals and prize information are published by the organisers. The event advertises kid-specific races and separate categories for different distances along the river-front route. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
