The Don River Dash is on this weekend in Bowen.
Participants from all over the country are flocking into Bowen for the event and it is a bucket list item for some.
The multi-terrain off-road event is an endurance event, and most people participate with the core goal to finish and have fun.
This amazing event is a sight to see, and spectators can witness the action at two spectator arenas.
Spectator 1 arena is at Pat McDonnell Earthmoving on Telegraph Road. Spectator 2 area is at WAGS Gladstone Park Road.
Event Secretary Wanita Sparr says there are other spots along the river for spectators too.
“If you happen to know property owners, or you know the local back roads you can definitely view the course or the racetrack and all the action,” she said.
“There's plenty of jumps, plenty of natural terrain that the bikes and cars have to navigate their way through. It's cool to see.
“It's very Mad Max meets the Whitsundays.”
As the Event Secretary Wanita is looking forward to the race, not just for the action, but also for bringing the community together too.
“It's not just about racing, it's about the community, and it's about my region,” she said.
“What better place to have a beautiful weekend enjoying the adrenaline of off-road racing and motorbikes as well as enjoying the Whitsundays.
“It's an event for the whole community.”
