Brimbank Park Running Festival - 2020

We continue to monitor the advice of the experts and authorities, with fluid and dynamic changes taking place daily. While we understand the needs for healthy outdoor activity and exercise in open spaces ensuring individuals need for mental health and well being, we are also conscious of the requirements of social distancing to ensure we play our part in minimising the potential spread of COVID-19. As a result of the current government and health services advice and in keeping with the requirements of restricted outdoor gathering size of 500 we have now close our event for any further ticket sales. This allows us to cater for volunteers and supporters and still maintain the requirements to not exceed the permitted outdoor gathering size. As a result the current event is now full and no further ticket sales are available online or on the day.

We will continue to provide updates as they come to hand.

Returning for its 7th year, Brimbank Park is becoming known as the North Wests must do event. Highlighting the unknown set of trails a little off the beaten track not normally adventured onto during a park visit. A fantastic family day of enjoying the outdoors and some relaxing or strenuous exercise if desired.

As always Volunteers are the key to successful events.

If you would like to help out on the day please let us know. We would love to have you helping as a volunteer.

We need aid station helpers for this event along with a few marshals to point runners in the right direction.
