Get your running shoes on for a good cause as the inaugural Run the Road event comes to Eynesbury.
Ahead of the completion of Mt Mary Road, Resimax Group is inviting locals of all ages to come together for a festival of fun, fitness and community spirit.
This is your one-time opportunity to walk or run the four kilometre stretch of road connecting Eynesbury to Ballan Road before it officially opens to the public.
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, Run the Road will support Black Dog Institute in its mission to create a mentally healthier world through advanced mental health research, education and awareness.
Every dollar donated will be matched by Resimax Group, up to $15,000. Donations can be made on the day or online.
A spokesperson from the Black Dog Institute will also speak on the day along with Melton MP Steve McGhie.
Festivities will kick off at the Eynesbury Recreation Reserve,
The day will be filled with activities including free kids’ activities, loads of giveaways, free ice- cream and coffee and a sausage sizzle.
Furry friends on leads are also welcome.
If you don’t feel you can make the whole distance, you’re welcome to run or walk any distance.
Run the Road will be held on October 27 between 11am-3pm.
