Walk it, run it … just be in it! The countdown is now on for the inaugural MY Mt Eliza Run & Fun Festival 2017 to be held on Sunday, March 26, at Emil Madsen Reserve, Mount Eliza.

Festival Director Geoff Nyssen is encouraging everyone to be a part of this special trail run/walk event.

“We are hoping families and friends in our community can challenge their fitness on the 5km flat course at a cost of only $35, or the 10km more difficult trail run through the Moorooduc Quarry for a registration fee of $45, with all participants receiving a free t-shirt. Teams and families of four attract a discounted price”.

“Our community are also invited to enjoy a premium skate/BMX/scooter competition delivered by YMCA Victorian Skate Park League, premium food and beverage vendors, a Gaelic sword tournament, the Commonfolk Coffee Company barista challenge, cooking demonstrations, face painting, a jumping castle, and lots more family-friendly activities with prizes and giveaways on offer,” Geoff said.

All funds raised on March 26 will go to Myeloma Australia to support patients with terminal blood cancer and their carers.
