Whether you are a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, a walker, or simply looking for a memorable day out with family and friends, this event offers the perfect challenge.
Choose from four exciting distances: a 3km Family Fun Run, a 7km Run, a 14km Run, or a 21.1km Half Marathon. Please note that participants must be 16 years or older to enter the Half Marathon.
