Rotary River Run 2025

Rain stops for Rotary River Run

On Sunday morning the rain stopped long enough for the participants and organizers to undertake the third Rotary River Run from Florence Wilmot Drive to the Boat Shed Café and Tackle Shop. A distance of 5klms.

The fastest runner, Wilton Townsend aged 15 years, completed the run in 17.05.

The winners of each section received $100 worth of prizes and a perpetual trophy. The trophies will be on display in the Boat Shed Tackle Shop until the next Rotary River Run in May 2026.
