Experience the thrill of Victoria's most exhilarating running festival at the Gumbuya World Running Festival 2027 presented by BFT Warragul on Sunday, February 28, 2027. This unique event combines a scenic race with an unlimited day pass to Gumbuya World theme park. Choose from three exciting distances: a challenging 10km route through Victoria's picturesque countryside, a family-friendly 5km course, or the kid-sized 2km dash for younger participants. All races take place on fully closed roads, ensuring safety and allowing you to focus entirely on your performance. Upon crossing the finish line, runners are rewarded with exclusive early access to Gumbuya World before it opens to the general public at 10:30 am. Enjoy zero queues as you experience everything the park has to offer including thrilling roller coasters, water slides, wildlife encounters, and live entertainment. This full-day pass would normally cost between $73-$78 but is included with your race entry. In addition to the theme park access, participants will receive a themed medal, sponsor giveaways, post-race refreshments, and personalized finisher certificates upon completion of their chosen distance. Free Race Day photographs are also provided as an added bonus for all runners. For those who already have a Gumbuya World Season Pass, contact us directly to claim your discount code at sign-up. Don't miss the chance to combine exercise with entertainment in this unforgettable event!
