Kiama Red Cross is hoping to attract even more people to participate in this year’s Kiama Fun Run, which has quickly become its major fundraiser.

“We’ve had great support from locals right from the start, but word is definitely spreading that it is a great reason to come to Kiama on the June long weekend,” says President Judi O’Brien.

“There’s a course for all levels of fitness, so we attract everyone from serious runners to family groups out for a stroll along the coast.

“It’s a great way to promote Kiama as a destination for healthy activities, while raising much needed funds for the Red Cross.”

Competitors can choose to register for a 21.1 km half marathon (a run from Surf Beach to Dunmore and return), or  a walk/run  for 9 km from Minnamurra or 5 km from Bombo to Surf Beach.

“The shorter events are ideal for people wishing to push strollers or bring their dog along on a lead, so it is a real family affair,” says Ms O’Brien.
