Thank you to Drakes Supermarkets for supplying fresh fruit and water to our finishers at the recovery station. 🍊💧

There is something about grabbing a piece of fruit after crossing the finish line that just hits different. Thank you Drakes for being part of that moment for thousands of our Rocky River Run finishers. We really appreciate your support of this community event.

Thank you to Asn Rockhampton and PURE Sports Nutrition for keeping our runners fuelled across the course on race day. 💪

From aid stations along the Fitzroy River to the recovery zone at the finish line, your support made a real difference to every runner out there on Sunday. We could not do race day without partners like you.

Thank you to GenesisCare for supporting the Rocky River Run recovery station in 2026.

After 21km, 10km, 5km and 2km of the Fitzroy River course, every finisher deserved a moment to breathe, refuel and celebrate. GenesisCare made that possible. Experts in cancer care and committed to the wellbeing of Australians everywhere.
