River Run 2026
PB Events proudly support River’s Gift as the charity partner of ‘The River Run – Geelong’ each year. The River Run is one of the regions most popular fun runs and with good reason, as the course takes participants along the beautiful Barwon River path system with single lap 5km and 10km courses. The course is flat and fast, where everyone is welcome from the elite athlete to walkers and pram pushers. The event provides a fun and friendly atmosphere, where everyone feels welcome.
Whether you walk, run, or just want to show your support, you can set up your very own online fundraising page to help raise vital funds for River’s Gift.
