A WEEKEND of community sporting events in Shepparton will be the feature of next month’s Labour Day weekend on Saturday, March 6 and Sunday, March 7.
Shepparton community athletic clubs and local event managers have partnered up to create the Shepparton Multi-Sport Weekend to life – a real, not virtual – event.
The weekend will kick off late on Saturday afternoon with the 2km Kids Run, which will raise money for the GV Health Kids Ward via the GV Health Foundation.
The Kids Run will be the curtain raiser for the Aquathlon, a swim/run event at Victoria Lake.
On Sunday morning, the Goulburn River Fun Run will step over the start line at Victoria Lake Park at 7am and will feature 21km, 14km, and 7km runs.
“Our tourism industry relies strongly on scheduled events to attract visitors to our city, and we have a long journey towards full recovery,” event organiser, Liz Connick, said.
“We will be encouraging any visitors to stay over for the weekend and explore our city, its restaurants, cafes and the other tourism businesses in our region.”
All participants need to register online, and the entry links can be found on the Shepparton Multi-Sport Weekend Facebook Page.
