Entries now open for 2025!

Over 2,500 people are predicted to run and walk through the streets of Bendigo to raise much-needed funds for Bendigo Health as part of the 2025 Bendigo Ford Fun Run on Sunday 2 March.

Entries are now open for all events, which in 2025 will include a new 3km short course and timed hill climb.

Geoff O’Sullivan, Event Director, said that the 2025 event is set to be the biggest yet with participation steadily increasing over the event’s 4-year history, “We saw 1,948 runners of all ages join the event earlier this year and we are looking to increase that number in 2025. With the addition of new events and changes to the direction of the course we know this will appeal to many past participants and people new to our event and even those new to running.” Mr O’Sullivan said.

 Acting Director of Bendigo Health Fundraising & Foundation said she was thrilled those proceeds and fundraising from the event will support Bendigo Health, “We have worked closely with Geoff and Nigel from the Bendigo Ford Fun Run to provide more choice to participants on how their funds are directed. People will be able to choose to support either Cancer Services, the Cardiology department, Children’s Ward, or Mental Health services Bendigo Health or even direct funds to wherever they are most needed within the health service.” Mrs Ryan said.
