The 2026 Rich River Rod Run will be held from:
Friday 13 March 2026 5:00 PM - Sunday 15 March 2026 3:00 PM in the Echuca Moama area.
For Entrants our 2026 event will kick off with a Friday Meet and Greet BBQ dinner with live music, followed up by a pancake breakfast Saturday morning before our Observation Run. Saturday afternoon there is free time to explore the many attractions in the Echuca/Moama area with entrants encouraged to cruise High Street into the evening in amongst the many eateries and hotels for dinner. Sunday will be our Chrome Bumper Family Show and Shine at Jack Eddy Oval in Moama with loads of trade stands, live music from Scotty Baker, Rocker Cover Racing, Camel and Pony rides and not to metion hundreds of Hot Rods and Customs.
Our 2026 Event is already at record entry numbers so make sure you enter by JANUARY 31st. Due to the strong number of entries we will not be allowing day entries to our Chrome Bumper Show and Shine on Sunday March 15th, the only way to be on display is a full weekend entry, otherwise we would love to see you come along and enjoy all the activities on offer.
The Rich River Rod Run is held in March every second year (in even years) and attracts entrants from all over Australia.
In 2026 the Rod Run will celebrate its thirty-sixth year, making it one of the longest-running events of its type in Victoria. The event is strictly open to Chrome Bumper cars to maintain the Old car vibe we all love.
The event is growing from strength to strength with numbers steadily rising in recent years.
