IT’S Bendigo: OUR gold rush city
We believe that a morning run with the sun on your face is one of the freshest ways to enjoy our regional city.
You’ll pass by a series of iconic Bendigo locations including Rosalind Park, Ulumbarra Theatre, the Dai Gum San Chinese Precinct and the Queen Elizabeth Oval (QEO).
At the end, flush with endorphins, you’ll have no doubt that Bendigo in autumn is glorious.
It’s fun: fast times aren’t the most important thing.
No need for fast splits and flashy running kits here.
We want to bring the people of Bendigo and beyond together for a great cause.
Have fun and give much needed support to the Bendigo Health Foundation while you’re doing it!
It’s a run (… or a walk)
Not everyone feels that the words ‘fun’ and ‘run’ should be in the same sentence.
If you’re one of them, we suggest having a ‘walk and talk’ instead.
Whatever your preference, joining the Bendigo Ford Fun Run guarantees you a magnificent course, improved wellbeing, and the knowledge that your effort will encourage others to get moving, too.
