Registrations are now officially open for Run For A cause 2019! We were thrilled to launch the event yesterday with our presenting partner Federation University Australia.
Hosted by running legend, Steve Moneghetti, the morning set the scene for what can be expected from the second Run For a Cause fun run event on November 17th. Bigger and better was the message delivered loud and clear by Ballarat Foundation CEO, Matt Jenkins. And it’s all thanks to the brilliant support shown by local businesses who are getting behind not only the event, but importantly the cause of Early Childhood Success.

The Federation University Run For a Cause 2019 will this year feature the North Ballarat Sports Club Half Marathon, the first opportunity for runners to participate in a local half marathon for over a decade. Runners and walkers can also choose between the McGrath 10km event or the Petstock 5km run or walk. There’s also an option to get a Petpass and bring along the family dog. And of course, the day wouldn’t be complete without the Golden Nugget Kids Dash, an absolute highlight of the day!
