KIDS FUN RUN 2023
Join us on 20 August and give premature babies a better chance of survival
How the Kids Fun Run works
The concept is simple...
All children (12 years and under) walk, run, or roll (wheelchair or pram) as many laps as they can.
No distance is too short, none too far (within the time limit).
Entry is $25 and everyone receives a T-shirt and a special finisher’s medal.
Prams welcome and parents can run with kids!
Saving Lives
Running for Premature Babies has raised over $6 million, funding neonatal research and providing life-saving neonatal equipment which has directly benefitted over 8,000 babies.
Read about some of these precious children here.
