Bannockburn Family Fun Run
The Community Enterprise, with sponsorship from health insurance provider GMHBA, will conduct the fun run at the Bannockburn Golf Club on Sunday, May 23.
Board member Jeanette Watt said the focus of the fun run would be on families getting out and enjoying some exercise together in a fun environment.
“We have inquiries from some quite serious runners and we are looking forward to having them join in,” Jeanette said. “But we want to emphasise the fun and participation aspects of the event.”
The fun run is a result of the Community Enterprise board’s decision to use its GMHBA sponsorship to promote health and well-being activities. The first activity, held last year, was a community health session that focused on depression and mental illness.
The format of the May 23 event will be the choice of a two kilometre or 4.8 kilometre course. Local sporting groups have also been invited to showcase their clubs with a range of activities at the finish line.
The day will also include prizes and giveaways.
“Whether you walk or run, we’d love to have people of all ages join us for what should be a great community activity,” Jeanette said.
Registration is from 8am on Sunday, May 23 and the event will begin at 9am.
