Run for the Kids
For the first time, Scouts Victoria is participating in Run for the Kids on March 29, 2026 and we want you on the team! This is a fantastic opportunity to get active, whilst supporting the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday appeal, and showcase Scouting’s community spirit. Whether you’re running, walking, or volunteering, every step counts toward making a difference for kids in need.
Event Details
- Long Course | 14.4 km, starting at 7:30am
- Short Course | 4.7 km, starting at 9:15am
- Start and finish lines, along with all family-friendly activities, will be in Docklands
The Long Course will be 14.4 km, and the Short Course will be 4.7km. The courses are nearly identical to the course routes of 2025, so it's the perfect opportunity to try and run a comparative PB time.
