Father’s Day Fun Run for Charity

Revesby Workers’ Father’s Day Charity Fun Run will be held on Sunday 4 September with an invitation open to the community to join in and raise money for Bankstown Lidcombe Hospital.

The new charity fun run, organised by Illawong Revesby Workers Athletics, is expected to draw a lot attendance from regular runners, families and friends and all the local community who want to have a run and give to charity.

Revesby Workers’ Vice President, John Rodwell encourages all members of the community to come along for the morning run.

“This new charity fun run should prove popular for regular runners and others who want to have a go and contribute to charity, in this case the Bansktown Lidcombe Hospital. It’s not just a day for dads, it’s a day for everyone to come together and have a bit of fun.”Mr Rodwell said.

“The organisers of the event are very experienced, having conducted the very successive Australia Day Charity Fun Run at Menai for many years. This run will start at Marco Reserve Panania and take the runners and walkers, around the adjacent Kelso sports areas.”

The fun run day is being held at 8am of Father’s Day, Sunday 4 September, providing an early family activity with plenty of time to celebrate more traditionally from mid-morning.

The run consists of two distances; a 3 km and an 8 km run or walk. Prizes will be awarded in junior categories for the 3 km run (up to 13, and 14-17) and in the 8 km race there are prizes for up to 34 years, and 35 years plus.

Entry fees for those up to 17 years is $10 (online) or $15 (on the day), and for 18 and older $20 (online) or $30 (on the day). Entry is open to all but a limit on numbers may need to be applied. The proceeds of the run will go to the Revesby Workers’ Charity Committee, which this year is again supporting the Bankstown Lidcombe Hospital.
