RACV Pre-1905 Pioneers Run Ballarat

October 1st - 2nd. Entries Close Saturday September 17

Over the weekend of October 1st and 2nd we have our 4th run for pre 1905 pioneer vehicles – motor cars, motorcycles, tricycles and quadricycles. Rarely do we get to see these historically significant vehicles, but now we have an event tailored to meet the needs of these “pioneers” and their drivers/riders.

Join us as we travel 45 kilometres each day on country roads taking in the sights on our way to Smythesdale and Learmonth.

Seeing these pioneer vehicles is special, and to experience them actually motoring is something that is never forgotten. Make sure you do not miss this amazing spectacle.
