Run4Geelong will return as an in-person event on November 13.

The Barwon Health Foundation fun run will see participants enjoy some of the region’s most picturesque outlooks while helping to improve local health.

The official course will see participants of all ages run or walk a loop taking in the sights of Eastern Beach, the city centre and Geelong Botanic Gardens along the way.

Barwon Health Foundation executive director Zoe Waters said it is fitting the course will take crowds past Barwon Health’s University Hospital Geelong where funds can be donated.

“As always, 100 per cent of every Run4Geelong registration is donated to Barwon Health Foundation and participants have the option to select which area of the health service they would like to support,” she said.

“The event offers all past patients of the health service an opportunity to give back to those who cared for them.

“So often people who have had an experience with our health service are looking for a way to say thank you and this community fundraiser is the perfect chance.”

In addition to the 5.5km family walk/run and the 10km run there’s also a 1km kids dash that will start and finish at Richie Boulevard.

The event concludes with entertainment and family activities. See run4geelong.com.au for race times and more information.
