Bunbury 3 Waters Running Festival

The aim of the Bunbury Runners Club is to provide the best, enjoyable supportive running festival for you all. The Bunbury 3 Waters Running Festival is well known for its relaxed friendly atmosphere which is perfect for the first timer who’s looking for a no-pressure race, yet is still a course that is challenging to the experienced distance runner. The course weaves itself along the shores of Bunbury’s natural aquatic scenery!

The course is designed to showcase Bunbury’s natural assets. It is called the 3 Waters Running Festival because it takes in the Leschenault Inlet, Koombana Bay and the Indian Ocean. For good measure we’re including the Bunbury Big Swamp a conservation wetland and wildlife sanctuary, located one kilometre south of the Bunbury city centre.

Runners in the marathon, ultra-marathon, half marathon run and walk, will receive a commemorative medal. Significant cash prizes for event winners and cash spot prizes might be of interest too.

Corporate Cup
Businesses and organisations……throw out the challenge!!! All businesses and organisations in the Bunbury region are welcome to nominate a team and sign up for the ‘3 Waters Corporate Cup’. Teams must consist of a minimum of four runners. This is a 5km run. The winner will be determined by the average of the four fastest times and awarded the 3 Waters Corporate Cup trophy.

School Challenge
All schools in the Bunbury district are invited to participate in the 2.1km Schools Challenge. Each child who wishes to run in the event will map and run 19km during the school term prior to the event, and on the day run 2.1km to achieve a half marathon distance. Each child who finishes the 19km plus 2.1km on race day will receive a half marathon achievement certificate. The school with the largest number of participants will be crowned the winner and awarded the schools challenge trophy.

Other activities
Face painting and bouncy castle will be operating for the young at heart, whilst canteen, coffee, ice creams and sausage sizzle will be tempting the taste sensation of participants and spectators.
