The Great Train Race

The Great Train Race on 24 May 2026 in Devonport, Tasmania is an event for the whole family with choices ranging from 400m to 7km. Runners and walkers go head-to-head against the Don River Railway Steam train. The race starts at the iconic Don River Railway and follows the beautiful Devonport walking track/Don River all the way to Coles Beach and return. Along the way, runners and walkers are entertained by all sorts of things and can hear the train chasing them down as it meanders its way through the Don Reserve. A must event for young and old.
