On September 20, 2026, runners of all levels are invited to participate in the inaugural ECS Fun Run along Esperance's scenic foreshore. The event offers three distance options: a challenging half marathon (21.1km), a mid-length run (10km), and a family-friendly option (5km). Each route winds through picturesque coastal areas, providing runners with stunning views of the ocean. Participants will receive a race bib and a finishers medal upon completion of their chosen distance. By signing up for this event, runners are not only challenging themselves physically but also contributing to a good cause — all proceeds go directly to Esperance Care Services (ECS), which has been dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing homelessness, financial hardship, and crisis for nearly three decades. Esperance Care Services aims to create a safe environment where everyone feels supported during times of need. The funds raised will help ECS continue providing emergency relief, practical support, and essential resources to those in the community who require assistance most urgently. Join us on this meaningful day as we come together to make a positive impact through sport. Joining forces with the local community, runners can look forward to an engaging atmosphere filled with encouragement from supporters along the route. The ECS Fun Run promises not only personal achievement but also a chance to contribute towards making Esperance a more supportive and caring place for all its residents.
