Goulburn Race Series 2026 - Race 2

The Goulburn Race Series 2026 - Race 2 returns to the picturesque Riverside Park in Goulburn, New South Wales on Sunday, October 18th, 2026.
Riverside Park is a tranquil setting with scenic views of the river and lush greenery. On race morning at 7am, participants will find a calm atmosphere as they gather for this community event. The course layout offers a mix of flat paths along the riverbank and gentle slopes leading to its finish line just past the park's main entrance.
This is the second edition of the Goulburn Race Series, which has been running since 2014 with significant participant growth each year. It supports local charities through race fees and donations from sponsors, making it a meaningful event for runners seeking both personal achievement and community support.
The course venue features a mix of paved paths along the riverbank and well-maintained dirt trails leading to its finish line just past the park's main entrance. The 10K path runs in loops around the central lake area, while the half marathon route takes participants through more varied terrain with some inclines. Notable course highlights include a steep but manageable hill near the halfway point and an open stretch towards the end that provides spectacular views of the river.
The race starts at Riverside Park's main entrance on High Street just off the town square. The finish line is located right next to it, offering runners a quick and easy transition from the course back into the park for post-race celebrations. There are no aid stations along the route due to its relatively flat terrain and manageable length.
On race day in October, expect temperatures ranging between 8C and 19.7C with an average of 13.9C. The humidity is around 65%, which means participants should dress appropriately for comfortable running conditions without excessive heat or cold. Wind speeds are typically low at 15.3 km/h, but runners may feel its effects as they approach the finish line.
