Pop your trainers on and get ready to run the winter blues away, because Run Melbourne is back. On July 16 challenge yourself with a half marathon, ten-kilometre or 5.2-kilometre run or walk, all in the name of charity.
Live music, cheer squads and hoards of fellow runners are sure to distract you from the hustle of pushing forward with every step, that is unless you’re into the competitive stuff. If that's the case, it's time to put your training to the test and see if you can beat your personal best (and the best of those around you).
Over the years, Run Melbourne has helped raise more than $19 million for over 250 charities. Registrations for all events are open and you can raise funds for your chosen charity through the event's fundraising partner Grassrootz.
With Grand Slam Oval as the hub (where there will be food trucks, DJs, merch stalls and post-run massage facilities), all races will take off from Batman Avenue. Register your spot and book online.
