Harcourts Burnie 321-GO Kids’ Race

This is the 24th running of one of Burnie’s major community events. The 2023 Harcourts Burnie 321-GO Kids’ Race will be held on Sunday, November 19, at Burnie’s West Park Oval. This iconic Burnie event is a great family day, so make sure your kids are entered and come along and enjoy the experience. Race entry is $18pp and free for family members and spectators.
