Jenny’s ELC presents this 1km event that is set exclusively for under 12s. The Jenny’s ELC 1km Junior Dash will see youngsters start at the main start line, zip through the sealed paths in Rosalind Park, around the fernery and return via the northern end.

They will get to experience the thrill of finishing through main finish line to the cheers of many family and friends. Times aren’t important, having a go and having fun is key!

Parents are more than welcome to accompany their children throughout this event at no cost.
