The annual Run for the Kids charity fun run is back again on Sunday 14th March.
Each year this event brings up to 30,000 participants who raise money as part of the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal. Participants can choose to run a 14.6km course, which takes runners from Kings Domain in the city, through the Domain Tunnel, up over Docklands on the Citylink roads and across the Bolte Bridge before heading back to Docklands, along the Waterfront and heading back to the park at Linlithgow Avenue. Full details on the course and the run itself can be found at http://www.runforthekids.com.au/r4k/
This year we're putting together an AGDA Team to run the 14.6km. If you're interesting in joining the team please contact SImon Mundy, AGDA Victoria Co-president via our Victorian secretariat vic@agda.com.au. So far we have 5 confirmed team members (including Brenton Murray, our National President) but would love to see this grow to 10 or even 20. Speed isn't the issue - we're there for a good time! And the view at the top of the Bolte Bridge is spectacular.
We'll need to finalise our entry by w/e Friday 12th to ensure we can register all entries together. Entry is $40 per person, $23 of which is donated to the Royal Children's Hospital Appeal. We'll also been encouraging AGDA Members, family and friends to donate via our Everyday Hero page (details to come).
If you're looking to get in shape and ready for the run, there's regular Wednesday and Saturday training runs organised by Run for the Kids sponsors - find out more information at http://www.runforthekids.com.au/r4k/training01.asp - we'll be attending these sessions as regularly as our workload allows!
We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you on the day. Sponsorship pledges and our final tally will be added to this page regularly leading up to the event.
