Entries open for Port running festival
ENTRIES are now open for next year’s Port Fairy Marathon and Community Running Festival.
The event, to be held on Sunday February 16, is an ecofriendly, all abilities, destination running event.
It includes a marathon, half marathon, 10km, 5km and 2.5km event.
The new multi-loop course showcases the best of picturesque Port Fairy.
This includes heritage streets, Norfolk pines, beautiful beaches, rugged coastline, historic wharf and the pristine river frontage that makes Port Fairy famous.
The marathon committee is a group of volunteers from the Port Fairy Consolidated School Parents and Friends and is auspiced by the Port Fairy Tourism Incorporation.
The Marathon Committee is working collaboratively with Moyne Shire Council and local sporting clubs to create a successful community event.
While the event is primarily designed to promote health and wellbeing, as well as bring tourism into the town, it is hoped in the future it may also raise funds for Port Fairy Consolidated School.
