The Community Fun Run is our autumn 5K along the main trail at City Park — a flat, friendly course that raises money for local youth programmes. Last year’s run alone paid for a full year of equipment at two after-school clubs.
Runners, walkers, buggies and leashed dogs all welcome, and there is no time limit. If you would rather cheer than run, the water station and the finish line are the two best jobs of the morning.
Collect your bib and timing chip at the trailhead; bag drop is alongside.
A led stretch by the start line.
One wave, chip-timed, with a volunteer walking the tail of the field.
Age-group winners and the top fundraising team.
Stay for the results, which go up the same morning.
Fully refundable up to seven days before the event. After that it becomes a tax-deductible donation and we will send you a receipt.
Yes, on a short lead, starting from the back of the field. There are water bowls at the halfway station.
A staffed bag drop runs at the trailhead from 7:45 AM until an hour after the last finisher. Please leave valuables at home anyway.
The run goes ahead in rain. We only cancel for lightning or a formal park closure, and we would tell you by email and on this page by 6:00 AM.
Creating opportunities, strengthening communities and helping meaningful change reach the people who need it most.
