Run for the Kids

For the first time, Scouts Victoria is participating in Run for the Kids on April 6, and we want you on the team! This is a fantastic opportunity to get active, whilst supporting 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 7:45 AM (15 minutes earlier than in 2024)
  • Short Course | 4.7 km, starting at 9:30 AM
  • Start and finish lines, along with all family-friendly activities, will be in Docklands

The course routes remain nearly identical to 2024, making this the perfect chance to set a comparative personal best. Our operations team is carefully reviewing the course for any necessary adjustments due to bike lanes, roadworks, or new construction sites to ensure a safe and smooth experience for all participants.

Why Join?

  • Stay active and challenge yourself
  • Support a meaningful cause
  • Connect with fellow Scouts and show our Scout spirit
  • Be part of an exciting community event
