This is our Easter run, with an Easter Egg Hunt after the run, for all the kids!

There will also be other special activities, including a colouring contest, if you can keep your kids out of the water.

As usual, we will have cold drinks on sale, plus a full supply of hot dogs (with Victoria Crest sausages).

All are welcome, including non-members (‘guests’), who can just turn up and go to our registration desk, to sign in and pay the guest fee of RM10 per kid.
It’s essential for everyone (members and guests) to sign in before the run and sign out after the run, so we know that nobody is lost.

Directions
As with most run-sites, it’s easy to get there if you let Waze or Google Maps help you navigate.

If you click one of these icons, it will direct you to the entrance to the Bundoora estate, and then you can follow hash signs to the run-site:

If you follow these instructions, you should find it easily, but we’ll have our usual bunny signs as you get close.

There are a few pot-holes in the last couple of km, but normal cars are fine as long as you take it slow.
