The Cardinia Fun Run and Walk is Back!

Cardinia Life and Cardinia Foundation are thrilled to once again be able to hold the popular 5km & 10km Fun Run and Walk on Sunday 2nd March 2025.

Cardinia Foundation in partnership with the council, created the fun run in 2017 as a fundraising event to support community programs, including those for special needs and outreach initiatives.

This annual event aims to raise funds for the Cardinia Foundation. Your support means that the foundation can continue to support vulnerable members of our community.

Head of fitness and engagement, John LeMiere is encouraging residents to join a welcoming and supportive community that inspires personal growth and connection.

“We embrace the greater community of the Shire to participate. The atmosphere that we present is strong and welcoming for the community. The impact is fun, it’s togetherness, it’s inclusive. What people get out of it is what they put into it.”

Returning to Deep Creek Reserve Pakenham, the track flows through the reserve wetlands, alongside the golf course and the iconic award winning park. We welcome runners of all abilities to get laced up, run or walk your best and have fun doing it!

10km Run: $40.00 – early bird special until 30 September

5km Run: $35.00 – early bird special until 30 September

5km Walk: $35.00 – early bird special until 30 September
