Lindfield Fun Run
Since 2005, KYDS has provided free, independent and proven mental health support to youth in Northern Sydney. They hold the Lindfield Fun Run each year to raise much-needed funds to aid them with their programs.
“The Lindfield Fun Run is a fantastic opportunity for participants, ideally in a team, to challenge themselves over 2km, 5km, or 10km in support of youth mental health. To be held on 1 May, the event also offers a chance for schools to build community spirit while getting involved in some serious fun, whether running or walking! Form a group, set some goals and create a fundraising page to make an even greater impact on the work of KYDS Youth Development Service and other charity partners. Register now at https://www.lindfieldfunrun.org.au/schools.php “
Online registrations are open until 24 hours prior to the event, however early bird registrations (a $5 saving) close on 22 April.
