Burdekin Sugar Rush
The Burdekin Road Runners and Walkers Club signature running event is the Burdekin Sugar Rush. The event not only showcases the spectacular features of the Burdekin Shire, but also celebrates the role that fun and fitness has in the community. The event attracts running enthusiasts from around the region (inc. Cairns, Ingham, Townsville, Whitsundays and Mackay) and also has a key focus of attracting first time competitors through the provision of a half marathon (21km), five and ten kilometre fun run and pram push for the families. Most participants take part for the personal challenge, the experience of a vibrant community event and embracing an active and healthy lifestyle.
