Rip To River
And its back on!!!! After being delayed due to extreme weather conditions – Rip to River is finally back on!
Good Luck to all competitors!
A 10 km surf beach run from “The Rip” at Point Lonsdale to Ocean Grove by the Barwon River.
Arguably the oldest Fun Run in Australia, the Rip to River, held early every Summer, is one of the club’s most iconic events. It is also our single biggest fundraiser and each year we welcome approximately 1500 runners to the pristine hard sand track from the Pt Lonsdale lighthouse to the main beach at Ocean Grove.
The next Rip to River will be held on Saturday January 6 2018
The Rip to River is made up of four events:
> 10km Classic Run (start time 8.00am Pt Lonsdale Beach below the lighthouse)
> 10km Walk (start time 7.30am Pt Lonsdale Beach below the lighthouse)
> 5km Beach Run (start 7.30am Ocean Grove Main Beach)
> 1.4km Ripper Nipper (start time 8.00am Ocean Grove Main Beach)
These events are all held on the beach.
In case of extreme weather conditions a reschedule date will be advised.
Registration points will be open from 2pm – 6pm on the day before the event in the OGSLSC Lounge for all events; then again on the Event Day from 6am at Pt Londale SLSC (for the 10km walk and run) and from 6am in the OGSLSC Lounge (for the 5km run and 1.2km ‘Ripper Nipper’).
Entrants who have applied online will be allocated their numbers during these times; last minute registrations will also be taken, subject to availability.
Rip to River Singlets will be available for purchase from Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club on race day and the day before the race.
