SWEAT vs STEAM 🚢
Join Team Steam — and don’t sweat it!

The course winds its way through the historic Port of Echuca, offering stunning river views and a truly memorable atmosphere. While the runners hit the trail, the Paddlesteamer Pevensey fires up her engines and sets off down the river — it’s a race to see who reaches the finish line first!
🚢 Team Steam — climb aboard the Paddlesteamer Pevensey, sit back, and cheer as you glide past the runners.
Team Steam Details:
Early Start: 7:45 AM (beat the runners to it!)
Cruise Duration: 90 minutes of scenic river views
Discount Tickets:
