Canberra Day provides an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate our unique and diverse city and the incredible lifestyle we enjoy here.
On Monday 10 March, head down to Commonwealth Park from 7.30am to 11.30am and support the community by joining in the Canberra Day Appeal Fun Run. Profits from the entry fees will go to the Hands Across Canberra, Canberra Day Appeal, to support the most vulnerable people in our community.
Whether you are joining in the fun run or coming long to support, wander through the Little Burley Market and grab a coffee or breakfast from the various food stalls and enjoy the family activities and entertainment at Commonwealth Park. There will be arts and crafts to keep the kids entertained and a DJ will keep the music pumping throughout the morning.
The Canberra Day Appeal Fun Run around Lake Burley Griffin offers three distance options, with a 2.5km run which is perfect for families, children and those who would prefer to walk, a 5km run for those who would like more of a challenge and a 10km run for regular runners.
For those taking part in the 2.5km family walk/run there will be lots happening as you make your way around the route. Watch out for cheer leaders, exciting bubble tunnel, get a photo at the postcard photo wall, you will see live jazz musicians, DJ’s, local dancers and you can take a break along the way while the kids go through a fun obstacle course.
The fees are the same as last year, $15.00 for the 2.5km, $30.00 for the 5km, and $45.00 for the 10km. You can sign up via the website before registrations close at 5pm on Sunday, 9 March.
