About this event
Mount Panorama Punish is a challenging 6.2km running event that takes participants on one hot lap of the iconic Mount Panorama motor racing circuit in Bathurst. With 174m of elevation gain, it combines steep climbs, fast running and sweeping circuit views for a demanding road race experience.
Set for Sunday 25 October 2026, the event is scheduled to begin at 8am and is run under traffic management so competitors can tackle the circuit without vehicle traffic. Strict cut-off times apply, with a checkpoint near the 3km mark and a finish cut-off at 60 minutes.
