While some of Sydney’s fun runs are focused on the marathon effort or beating a personal best, this easy going race hones in on the ‘fun’ element. There’s two course to race, cartwheel or amble your way through, and every member of the family is invited to join both the 2km and 5km lengths. Dogs are welcome, as are scooters, bikes and prams.
When you’ve met the smiling crowd at the finish line in Sydney Park, join the post-run party. There’ll be live entertainment, jumping castles and games for the kids, plus plenty of rehydrating and refueling drinks and snacks.
The aim of the big family day out is to raise $130,000 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities, which support seriously ill children and their families, with a focus on those who have to travel great distances to receive medical treatment.
