Today is the day! Runners from across the state and beyond will converge on Castlemaine for the 18th edition of Run The Maine.
From the half marathon against the Victorian Goldfields Railway steam train from Maldon to the challenging 10km bush run through the beautiful woodlands of the Walmer State Forest, or the relaxed 5km Run / Walk winding through Castlemaine’s stunning Botanical Gardens there is something to suit you.
This year runners will be striving to raise further funds towards the establishment of a Therapeutic Garden Development at Dhelkaya Health.
Registrations and bib collection open at Camp Reserve at 7am.
The event will be officially opened at 9.40am at Camp Reserve with a Welcome to Country Dja Dja Wurrung Elder Uncle Rick Nelson and opening by Bendigo West MP Maree Edwards.
The train to the 21km at Maldon steams out at 8.15am for the 9.15am race start at Maldon. The 10km event starts at 10am and the 5km walk/run at 10.15am.
At the start/finish line at Camp Reserve there will be a food village with Rotary Castlemaine, Pizza de Wheels, Deja-Brew, MDA Twister Potato, Golden Wellness Juice and Smoothies, free massage tables, free spot prizes and a post race recovery activity with the crew from Movement Zone.
The event will wrap up at 12 noon with presentations with Dhelkaya Health CEO Sue Race and Bendigo West MP Maree Edwards.
