Run Melbourne 2010

Run Melbourne is a huge community fitness event drawing competitors from all across Victoria, and even some from other states, to take part in the 5km, 10km or half marathon through Melbourne.

A staggering 17,665 runners turned out on Sunday 18th July to a beautifully sunny day ready to race in the “fitness event for everyone”.

More than 400 of those competitors were taking part in support of cancer research, the biggest group we’ve ever had supporting the Foundation, and together they raised more than $34,000!

The participants supporting cancer research in the 2010 Run Melbourne came from a wide variety of ages, backgrounds & fitness levels, each with different stories about why they chose to run the event and support cancer research. Some were survivors of cancer themselves or currently fighting their cancer, while others wanted to celebrate the remission of those close to them or to show support for family/friends currently fighting the disease.  A number of participants work in the cancer support industry, while others just wanted to raise awareness and do their bit for a good cause. And, of course, there were a large number running to honour the memory of loved ones who had sadly lost their battle.

Cancer research supporters felt their efforts would help others, change the world, and hopefully bring a brighter future for upcoming generations.

These fantastic supporters came out in droves and some ran fabulous times, others took a more leisurely approach with their families, and some just enjoyed the sights and cheering from onlookers.

The Foundation would like to thank each and every one of our amazing Run Melbourne participants – you did a phenomenal job and we are so grateful for your support.
