Join us for an unforgettable day at the 2026 Eltham Fun Run & Walk, set to take place on Sunday, November 15, 2026. This year's event promises to be bigger and better than ever before, with a goal of raising even more funds for the Pat Cronin Foundation. The run starts at the picturesque Eltham Leisure Centre and takes participants through the charming parks and trails that define this vibrant community. Whether you're an experienced runner or simply looking for a fun day out with family and friends, there are options to suit all abilities: a 5km event and a more challenging 10km option. After crossing the finish line back at Eltham Leisure Centre, enjoy refreshments from local vendors like coffee vans and sausage sizzles. There will also be plenty of activities for everyone to participate in, making it an ideal day out with family and friends. Safety is our top priority: children must always be supervised by adults; prams are welcome but should start at the back due to safety considerations; dogs can join you on a leash throughout the event. For those needing medical assistance during the run or post-event activities, St John's will provide first aid services located near the starting line. Please note that parking may be limited around Eltham Leisure Centre due to the high number of participants expected for this popular community event. We recommend arriving early and planning your route in advance to avoid any traffic delays on race day. For more information or if you have specific questions, feel free to contact the Eltham Leisure Centre team at 9439 2266 or via email at eltham@alignedleisure.com.au. We look forward to seeing you there for a fantastic and memorable event! Join us on November 15, 2026, for an afternoon filled with fitness, fun, and community spirit in Eltham!
