The Rush is coming

Back

Towers Rush is back! It’s the annual event that turns Charters Towers into one huge playground. Now in its 7th year, Towers Rush is 4 hours of fun-filled action for all ages and fitness levels.

Starting at 8:30am Sunday, 10 October, teams of between two and five people will gather at the Showgrounds before setting off to navigate the far reaches of Charters Towers.

Along the way the teams will complete a variety of challenges and activities with lots of prizes up for grabs.

Cr Kate Hastie, whose portfolio covers sport and recreation said the event is fantastic for our region.

“It’s exciting to be able to offer an amazing event like Towers Rush to the community and visitors.

“The event attracts hundreds of people from around the region, including Townsville and provides a variety of activities.

“It’s suitable for everyone from the young, to the young at heart, intellectuals and the keen athlete. Come out and give it a go and enjoy a day of great family fun.”

Activities and challenges will include climbing wall, whacking a ball, finding hidden clues, “minute to win it” style games and many more.Towers Rush, Council, Charters Towers, events, Cr Kate Hastie, sport and recreation, team
