About Run Geelong
A big thank you to all those who helped raise over $270,000 last year for the Geelong Hospital Children’s Ward! With over 8,100 participants, Run Geelong became Australia’s biggest regional fun run in just its second year- so well done to all those who participated or helped out.
We are hoping to make this year’s event bigger and better than ever. Help us raise $500,000 for the Geelong Hospitals Children’s Ward redevelopment by joining 15.000 other participants in this years Run Geelong fun run on Sunday November 20th.
Runners and Walkers of all abilities can challenge themselves with either a 12km or 6km course that starts and finishes at our esteemed Kardinia Park and visits some of Geelong’s most iconic landmarks such as The Waterfront, City Centre, Kardinia Park, James Harrison Bridge, the Geelong Hospital, Moorabool St, Eastern Gardens and Skilled Stadium.
100% of all entry fees from the event will go towards the Geelong Hospital Children’s Ward redevelopment, with the first 12,000 entries also receiving a free event T-shirt!
Reasons why Run Geelong is an event everyone should be a part of!
1. 100% of entry fee goes to Geelong Hospital Children’s Ward
2. Only chance to run over James Harrison Bridge and on the turf at Skilled Stadium.
3. Free Event T-shirt
