Rip to River

Rip to River is a 10km surf beach run from "The Rip" Point Lonsdale to Ocean Grove by the Barwon River in Victoria on 28 December 2026. There are also 10km walk, 5km run and 1.4km Ripper Nipper events. This event is held early every summer, and is one of the Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Clubs's most iconic events. It is also their biggest fundraiser and each year they welcome hundreds of runners to the pristine hard sand track from Point Lonsdale to the main beach at Ocean Grove.
