Harden Barry Coulton Memorial Dice Run wraps up for 2026
Now in its seventh year, the Barry Coulton Memorial Dice Run continues to remember and honour its namesake who passed away after battling cancer in 2019.
Hosted by the Sacred Syndicate Social Motorcycle Club (Sacred Syndicate SMC), the day-long event raises money for the Harden-Murrumburrah CanAssist organisation.
This year’s event, held on January 24, kicked off at 8.00am at the Roberts Park in Harden where 66 registrations were recorded. 45 bikes were seen on the road, with more dropping in and out during the day.
The ride saw a slew of seasoned motorcyclists interacting with casual drivers in cars and other vehicles, and stopped at a total of four locations. The run covered approximately 250 kilometres of road and followed the same dice run format as the years prior. At each stop, participants rolled dice to accumulate points, with ‘Baddy’ winning the dice run with a total of 136. ‘Uncle’ earned the wooden spoon with a total of 84 after seeing the worst single roll of 8 and ‘Bob Head & Vinnie’ took out the highest single roll at 33.
The true triumph of the day, however, was the amount raised for CanAssist, an organisation that assists those living with cancer in the community. Raising a total of $4681.07, the money will go towards expenses such as travel, accommodation and medical expenses for cancer patients.
Harden-Murrumburrah CanAssist president, Carol Barker, says, “it went off really well.” “They had a good turn up and it was accident-free, which is always a blessing.” The Harden-Murrumburrah CanAssist organisation is looking to celebrate their 25th year of operation this year, with plans well and truly underway to celebrate the work they do for the region.
Sacred Syndicate SMC national president, Vince “Vinnie” Behler, says it’s always a pleasure to support CanAssist, knowing that it directly benefits the community. “We’ve donated more than $25,000 to CanAssist from all of our events,” he says. “And more than $57,000 to the area.”
