Connor's Run

Let's Run for Connor

Just a reminder that Ormond Primary School will be entering a school team into Connor’s Run this year. Thank you to all those people who have already signed up. 

There are 3 different races to choose from:

1. Longest run is 18.8kms from Hampton Beach to Alexandra Gardens
2. The second route is 9.6km from Catani Gardens, St Kilda to Alexandra Gardens. 
3. And the last route is 3km starting from Peppercorn Lawn and ends at Alexandra Gardens

Connor’s run is a fun-run event organised by the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation. It is to raise money and awareness about paediatric brain cancer. Connors Run is a popular event in Australia, specifically in Melbourne with thousands of participants joining to run, walk or just participate in other activities. This event encourages participants “to have more fun than run” and celebrates courage while supporting those affected by brain cancer. There are three different routes which all start at different times at different places around the City and take place on the 14th of September.

Tickets

It may cost money, but it’s definitely worth it because all the money raised goes to the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation, which is used to find a cure for children facing brain cancer.
