Ocean Grove, Victoria · Friday, December 26, 2025
The Rip to River is a 1k, 5k, 10k, running, and walking event held on Friday, December 26, 2025. It is located at SURF BEACH RD in Ocean Grove, Victoria.
The 22nd Bellarine Rail Trail Run (17 or 34kms) will be held on Sunday August 23, 2026 as an out & back course from Queenscliff to Drysdale Railway Station & return (34km) or one-way Drysdale to Queenscliff (17km) along the BRT. The trail is tremendously scenic and ideal for running being wide, well marked and all on smooth, unsealed paths aside from the 4.5kms at the Queenscliff end (sealed). It is an ideal training run for the Geelong Running Festival & Melbourne Marathon events.
The course is relatively traffic free, but you do have to cross some major roads & the railway line, so please take care. The trail is also open to the general public and it is important that their use is not affected by the event. For this reason, this is NOT A RACE - there are no prizes for finishing first!
Entries capped at 300 runners

Geelong Runners Club began in February 2019 when Tristan and Leigh saw a gap in the local running landscape and decided to fill it. They wanted a free, social space where runners from Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula could gather without pressure or pace requirements. Today, around 900 members strong, the crew welcomes everyone from veterans to beginners. The philosophy is simple: zero competition, genuine inclusion, and the pure pleasure of running together along the Geelong coastline. Thursday evenings at Eastern Beach Carpark and Saturday mornings at Balyang Sanctuary are the signature runs, each offering its own rhythm and community vibe.
