Events to Activate

28/11/2025

This Sunday, 30 November, will be our 5k Track Time Trial at the Jubilee Park running track. We'll be starting a group warm up at 7.30am with the fun to start at around 7.50am. There will be 20min and 25min pacers available so if you've been chasing that elusive PB this could be your chance. Events to Activate will be setting up their timing gear again so plenty of lap time data to share. As an added bonus Harriers will be putting on some breakfast post run.

Super excited to release the date of the 10th edition of the Wild Dog Mountain Bike Race - Sunday 12 July 2026. And because it's the big number 10 and quite possibly the last one we will get to organise get ready for something special. It's going to be a ripper so stay tuned for more updates.

Online entry is now open via the event website.

Based in some of the most beautiful country the Eyre Peninsula has to offer, on a combination of the most technical but flowing sections of trail we could find, the Wild Dog mountain bike race in...

Okay, some of the oldies amongst us would remember some crazy running events back in the day. We are super excited to announce the return of one such crazy event - The Iron K**b to Whyalla Wheelbarrow Race!

Round up your friends, team mates, work colleagues nominate your charity or local sporting club to support and start raising funds to help them out. The Whyalla Harriers have decided to throw $500 to the nominated charity or club of the first team over the line and will also match fundraising efforts up to $500 to the team that raises the most funds.

Teams can have up to ten (10) members so the 55k distance can be shared around as often as you like.

Start rounding up your team, dusting off those wheelbarrows and let's start making some more crazy memories!

Just over 330 days until the Great White Ultra trail run. Plenty of time to plan in your massive blocks of training to make the start line for this one. For a little extra incentive to lock this in nice and early, thanks to the team at Calypso Star Charters, we have one Shark Cage Diving voucher to give away! Anyone who enters before the end of April 2026 will go in the draw. Super excited to be able to give this totally relevant prize away. There wouldn't be too many things that get the blood pumping more than the anticipation of running 100k but jumping in a cage with the potential to be surrounded by Great Whites would come close.

Get excited, share around and start planning your Great White Ultra adventure today!

Keen to help at community events? Love encouraging people to push themselves a little further or faster than perhaps they should? Or simply looking for an excuse not to run? Either way we would love to hear from anyone interested in volunteering at the Whyalla Running Festival Sunday 10 August. If you're interested or know someone that might be we would love to hear from you.
