Machinery in the River ⚠️ This weekend we’ll have Machinery in the River ⚠️

This weekend we’ll have heavy machinery working in the river preparing the track.
We know everyone is keen to pre-run, but safety must come first. Please slow right down when approaching machinery and give our operators plenty of space.
Let’s all do the right thing and help keep our volunteers and machinery operators safe. Slow down and give them space.

A Little Bit of Frustrating News... Unfortunately, A Little Bit of Frustrating News...
Unfortunately, we’ve just been told that our Don River Dash trucker caps won’t arrive until race week. 
That means we won’t be able to make them available for online ordering just yet.
As soon as they arrive, we’ll let you know and open them up for orders, which will be able to be collected at DRD HQ, or the merch booth at the event. 
Thanks for your patience — we promise they’ll be worth the wait!
