Bowen Mudder 2026

• Bowen Jazzercise leads a group warm-up before the start.
• Post-race hot chocolate and snacks are donated by the Bowen General Store.
• Change tents are available to change out of wet clothes after the run.

Island Pacific School provides shuttle van service from the Snug Cove ferry terminal to the school, meeting the 9:20 am ferry from Horseshoe Bay. The van also takes overflow runners and shuttles back to Snug Cove after the race.

• Ferry arrivals: walk off the ferry and go up the hill to your right; the van meets you near the bus stop at the corner of the first cross street.
• Driving or taking the local Translink bus: tell the driver you are heading to Island Pacific School and they will drop you at the top on Carter Road.
• From Carter Road: the school is a short walk down the road, past the Children's Centre and over the bridge.

Registration and bib number pickup take place at the back of the school.

The 5K participants start first, followed by waves of teams and solo participants for the 2K fun run.

Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the 5K are awarded in three age groups: under 10, under 18 and over 18.

Awards are also given for best costume and team spirit.
