Description
Run the Tan was founded and launched by Darren Templeton in 2019. It has established a central source of truth and governance process to capture and manage all official recorded run times around the Tan (including the all-time top 10 and top 100 fastest times for men and women). Run the Tan partners with Bennelong Foundation and City of Melbourne to provide and update the official top 10 fastest times on digital clocks located at the Tan on a cyclic basis.
Run the Tan hosts the annual showcase charity event, supporting mental health charities, which has quicky become one of the most popular and well well-known running events in Melbourne and Australia. The inaugural event was held in April 2021 between COVID lockdowns.
Run the Tan also delivers a free weekly community run club initiative at the Tan Track at 8am every Saturday morning, it caters to all fitness levels and abilities, and is open to everyone in the community.
