UTE BEAUTY! The iconic 20th annual Hot 100 Australia Day Ute Run is back in 2021, and we are revving up for an awesome display of utes, flags, dogs and fun-lovin' characters as we wind our way from Hidden Valley Raceway to the awesome party spot - Noonamah Tavern & Rodeo! 

Just $10 registration fee per ute, with proceeds going to Variety NT Freedom Camp at Goanna Park.

Get your online entry before 22 January to be in the draw for one of 10 spots in the convoy. Winners will be notified and issued with their very own pass to start on the grid! First utes through the gates will also start on the raceway (to be joined by sponsors vehicles and Variety Bash Cars).

Everyone needs to register to get in this year, so add your friends details when you book your ute in.

ABOUT THIS RIPPA EVENT:

The annual Australia Day Ute Run is a street parade that entertains spectators as it winds its way through Darwin, culminating in a community celebration. We encourage all to go overboard and deck out your ute, yourselves, your dogs and join in. 

Funds raised will go towards Freedom Camp at Goanna Park, a camp which aims at providing children with a mild to moderate disability and disadvantaged children a unique experience away from their day to day routines in a safe and secure environment, 

Food and drinks will be available for purchase at Hidden Valley Raceway and Noonamah Tavern (No BYO alcohol allowed)

Great prizes up for grabs for Best Themed Utes and Best Dressed bloke/sheila/boy/girl/dog. Dress yourself, your ute and your dog up to win! (Flags available at National Flags - 0418 835 644)
