Every backer of a bear that finishes 1st, 2nd or 3rd receives a cash payout based on their stake in that bear for that race. 1st place - 3x your money back · 2nd place - 2x your money back · 3rd place - your money back.

Country

The Drop Bear Dash is run on Wiradjuri Country. We acknowledge the Wiradjuri people as the traditional custodians of the Murrumbidgee and its riverbanks, and pay respect to Elders past and present.
