About
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 their single biggest fundraiser and each year they welcome approximately 1000 runners to the pristine hard sand track from the Pt Lonsdale lighthouse to the main beach at Ocean Grove.
