This year’s event will be full of new and improved things including a colour fun run and activities for all ages - all for a great cause.
Last year the Efforts 4 Esme crew held two races - one male and one female race for all ages.
This year, they have decided to split it into four races consisting of female adults (16 years and older), male adults, female children (under 16) and male children to give more people a chance to win.
Each adult race will still have a $500 cash prize, and the youngsters’ race winners will go home with a goodie bag full of amazing local prizes.
The committee is finalising the details to open entries soon, so make sure you stay tuned and save the date for this fundraiser.
