About the Event

Experience the vibrant coastal charm of Metung as you participate in its annual fundraising extravaganza—the Metung Fun Run. Hosted by The HIIT Factory Bairnsdale, this 2026 edition promises to be an unforgettable day for runners and families alike.
On Sunday, November 8th, 2026, the scenic shores of Lake King will welcome participants from all walks of life with a variety of events designed to suit every fitness level. Whether you're training for your next big race or simply looking to enjoy some fresh air by the water, there's something for everyone.
Start your morning with a leisurely 5km walk along the picturesque Metung coastline, where the gentle waves and lush greenery offer breathtaking views at every turn. For those seeking a more challenging run, the 10km route will take you through charming local neighborhoods before winding its way back to the finish line amidst cheering crowds.
Youngsters aged four and above can join in the fun with the 1km Kids' Colour Dash, where they'll be splashed with vibrant colors by enthusiastic volunteers. This event is not only a blast for kids but also promises endless entertainment value for their parents and siblings who come along to cheer them on.

The Metung Fun Run is more than just a race; it's an opportunity to support the local Metung Primary School and its dedicated teachers through your participation.
