About this event
Rush to the Rattler returns to Gympie on Sunday 11 October 2026 for a morning of fitness, community spirit and heritage rail fun. Set in the heart of Gympie, this event brings together runners, walkers and spectators for a memorable local outing.
Participants can choose from three course options: a 3 kilometre family-friendly, walk-friendly route, a 5 kilometre run, or a more challenging 10 kilometre course for keen runners. The event begins near the Gympie Gold Mining Museum and finishes at the historic Gympie Station.
After crossing the finish line, entrants receive a sausage on bread and a bottle of water, with additional food, coffee and drinks available to buy. The celebration continues with a scenic ride aboard the Mary Valley Rattler back to Monkland Station, followed by a walk to the museum.
Souvenir event hats are available to collect at registration. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and participants are encouraged to bring a water bottle, sunscreen and hat.
This is a relaxed, community-focused event that suits families, casual walkers, recreational runners and anyone keen to enjoy a unique Gympie experience.
