On Saturday 23rd of June, Willandra will host the Waratah Series Challenge and Greater Bank Fun Run.
To those who have been running with us for a while, this event is otherwise known as “The Country Classic”.
There are a range of options for all runners, of all ages & abilities, with distances starting from 1km all the way through to 10km.
Age categories for Championship events range from U/12 through to 75 years and over.
Please consider entering either a Championship Event or the Fun Run and come and join in the running fun at the beautiful Willandra Course.
Challenge yourself on the Willandra hills or take a casual jog around the dam in the Fun Run. You choose your distance! Take the opportunity to run against other like-minded runners from all over the State – the focus is on participant enjoyment.
There will be plenty of course action for spectators too so even if you’re not a runner, come along and cheer on the athletes. There are great vantage points around the course for photographers and cheer squads!
The Club also needs volunteers to help out on the day so if you can lend a hand please contact Andrew on 0418 210 304.
In addition, we need donations for our cake stall (cakes, muffins, slices etc) which is a fundraiser for The Club. Please bring your baked goodies and sweet treats along on the day!
