Warm up this winter for a good cause by taking part in

Run Melbourne 2019.

With its glorious gardens and iconic landmarks, Melbourne provides

a magnificent backdrop for the 22,000+ participants expected to

hit the pavement. The new and exciting courses provide runners,

joggers and walkers, the opportunity to admire some of our city’s

most iconic sights while raising funds for charity.

Whether your aim is to improve on last year’s time, enjoy a fun

walk with family and friends, or there to cheer on a competitor –

it’s a wonderful way to spend your Sunday; you could make a day

of it and then head to one of our fabulous restaurants or cafes

after the race.

The City of Melbourne is proud to support this worthy event which

has raised more than $16.5 million dollars, for over 400 charities

over the past 12 years.

I invite you to be part of the action, rally behind your favourite

cause and run this city.

Good Luck!
