Run The Maine returns today for its 15th edition. The popular community event celebrates health and wellbeing and raises valuable funds for local hospital Dhelkaya Health. 

This year’s 21km half marathon has once again proven popular with the Victorian Goldfields Railway train to the start line in Maldon selling out last week and at capacity with 225 runners. 

However, the RTM team has created a special ‘Maldon to Go’ ticket offer for participants keen to do the half marathon, which will allow runners to collect their bib from Camp Reserve and make their own way out to Maldon for the start of the event. 

The Rapid Relief team will once again be on hand providing delicious free burgers and vegie burgers (gold coin donation welcomed) and free tea and coffee.
