NOT JUST A RUN ! A GREAT DAY OF ACTIVITY ON THE OVAL
Even more fun - and a superb day out!SO WHATS NEW AND WHATS BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR?
The Fun Run has something for everyone!
THE RUNS If you are a regular runner the 10 km is for you. Test yourself against this challenging course. The 5 km suits both seasoned runners and the more ambitious members of families! And the 2 km is a great event for one and all including young children in a safe environment and those who want to run slowly, walk or push a pram - making it a total family event! Those with prams need to start at the back.
AWARDS Every runner gets a medal. There are awards for the best runner male and female in each distance for several age groups.
ENTERTAINMENT There are lots of activities on the Oval after your run. This includes several Food stalls and Face painting and a basketball competition for kids.
SCHOOLS CHALLENGE There are prizes for the school with the largest number of runners, and the school that raises the most funds.
FUNDRAISING Fundraising is an important part of the event. There are prizes for the best junior fundraiser (age17 and under) and top adult fundraiser (age18 up). There is also a prize for the most funds raised by a family.
