5K Charity Run

5K Charity Run

About This Event

A family-friendly 5K run and walk through City Park, and one of the easiest ways to support our youth programmes — every registration and every mile funds after-school places for children who would otherwise go home to an empty house.

The course is a flat, paved 5K loop suitable for runners, walkers, buggies and leashed dogs. There is no cut-off time and nobody finishes last, because a volunteer walks the tail of the field every year.

Frequently asked questions

Is registration refundable?

Fully refundable up to seven days before the event. After that your fee converts to a tax-deductible donation, and we will send you the receipt.

Yes. Raise the equivalent of the entry fee through a personal fundraising page and your entry is free. Most people pass it comfortably in a week.

Register for the virtual option and run or walk your 5K anywhere that same weekend. Log your time on the results page and your medal is posted to you.

Both. The loop is paved end to end. Dogs must stay on a short lead, and buggies start at the back of the field.
