Harcourts Burnie 321-GO Kids’ Race

Now in its 26th year, this one of Burnie’s major community events. The 2025 Harcourts Burnie 321-GO Kids’ Race will be held on Sunday, November 16, at Burnie’s West Park Oval. This iconic Burnie event is a great family day, so make sure your kids are entered and come along and enjoy the experience.

The concept for the race was established as a safe alternative for children competing in the Burnie Ten. The event offers children aged between 5 and 13 the chance to participate in a running event in a top coastal arena over a distance appropriate for their age.
