Maroondah Hospital Fun Run

Lace up your runners and get your REGISTRATION in now for the (2nd Annual!) ‘Maroondah Steps Up’ Run/Walk benefiting the Hospital taking place Sunday, 26th of October 2008. Our inaugural event in 2007 received overwhelming positive feedback and with over 400 participants on the day, we are confident our numbers will reach the cap of 600. Numbers are limited to ensure a professional and well managed event and with high expectations of repeat attendance from last year, it will be very important to get your registration in as soon as you can to ensure your spot on the day.

The event will start in the morning and will be a 4k/8k Walk/Run with the route to include a loop past Maroondah Hospital and to Start/Finish at Ringwood Lake. The timing will allow for everyone to finish and participate in all the post event activities to include a BBQ lunch and a fun area for the kids put on by our Sponsors. Course Map

This is again a “Medical Theme” to allow for participants to have fun with the option of dressing up. Could be as simple as a Band-Aid on the arm or people could wear scrubs, hospital gowns, or whatever creative ideas people can come up with.

This year we are announcing the TEAM CHALLENGE 2008 with a perpetual trophy awarded to the team with the highest number of participants.

We are thrilled with the support from our Sponsors and warmly welcome back The Uniform Super Store (formerly known as Planett) as our major sponsor and special thanks to our primary sponsors Maroondah City Council, Leader Community Newspapers and Kenworth Trucks.

All registered participants will receive a fabulous ‘Goodie Bag’ that will include an event Sports Towel and other great items. Our Event Tees are back but they will be ‘optional’ and a limited supply will be available on the day for purchase at $20. A limited supply of 2007 event merchandise is available at discounted prices prior to the event and other 2008 stock will be available for purchase on the day.

Volunteers for the event are needed to help with Registration, Signage placement, Raffle Ticket Sales, Supporting the Activities, Assisting with Set Up and Breakdown, Distributing Goodie Bags and Assisting with the Finish – If you would like to be involved and assist in some way, PLEASE CLICK HERE TO REGISTER YOUR INTEREST.
