Rising Sun Trophy Race on the Windmill Course with the Wall Finish 56km

About

The Rising Sun Trophy Race was established in 2015 to raise funds for a community organisation. Entry fees and raffle proceeds are donated each year to a different local community organisation. The race is always held close to ANZAC Day. This generosity is made possible by the Wells family, who donate the prizes for placegetters and the raffle.
