10km FUN RUn
Sunday 2 March 2025
Agnico Eagle Fosterville proudly presents the 10km Fun Run, a classic distance which we believe is the ‘goldilocks’ choice: not too far and not too short.
The course leaves the beautiful, shady Rosalind Park and winds its way down a closed Bridge Street to Nolan Street. From here your course extends past Lake Weeroona along the peppercorn tree-lined Bendigo Creek Trail to White Hills, at the far end of the course near Holdsworth Road you’ll do a u-turn and retrace your steps back to the lake.
After rejoining the picturesque 5km course at Bridge street, you will continue through the Dai Gum San Chinese precinct.
After taking a right hand turn into Park Rd, you’ll be faced with an uphill pinch towards the Tom Flood velodrome. You’ll soon pass by the imposing Ulumbarra Theatre on Gaol Rd and take a loop around the perimeter of the Queen Elizabeth Oval (QEO). From the QEO, return along Gaol and Park Roads before returning to Rosalind Park via the northern end to the applause of family, friends and spectators.
Many beautiful sights, plenty of shade, good quality hard surfaces and a few pleasant surprises await all runners on course.
