The highly anticipated ‘Don River Dash’ will soon be taking place in Bowen.
This multi-terrain off-road event is a thrill-seekers paradise and a huge crowd attraction with spectators able to watch the action from the banks of the dry Don River bed where all the action takes place.
Dirt flies, motors roar as the racers all vie to complete the course in the fastest time possible.
A bucket list item for many adrenaline-junkies, the race attracts motorists from all over the country.
Event Secretary Wanita Sparr said this race is as exciting to watch as it is to participate in.
“It is an endurance event, and it's very difficult, very challenging and a technical race,” she said.
Burdekin Off-roaders President Michael Marson said it is a unique race.
“It's a very unique in Australia and there are not many events that run the same format under those conditions,” said Michael.
Manager of Bowen Tourism and Business, Leanne Abernethy said the Don River Dash creates a great economic boost for the region.
“People travel from long distances to compete as well as to watch this event,” she said.
“We are always very busy at the Bowen Visitor Information Centre over the Don River Dash weekend and many of the visitors stay and explore the wider Whitsundays region after the event has finished.”
