Welcome to the only two-day offroad race that sees bikes, buggies and trophy trucks race a reverse grid format through a multi-terrain natural course.

Inspired by the best international courses in the world, the Don River Dash attracts elite professional competitors and delivers more action for spectators in a world-class tourism destination.
Simply, unlike any other race, the Don River Dash is an unmissable event.
Plan to be in Bowen, The Whitsundays, from 4 – 6 September 2026.

RACE. RECHARGE. RELAX.
