This year’s event is fast approaching and on the 11th of February for 24 hours only, your donation to the Bendigo Ford Fun Run could make an even bigger impact.

Bendigo Health are running a special Donation Boost Day, where every donation made during the day will go into the draw to win some ace prizes!

After plenty of energy, planning and considerations - we’re excited to reveal our 2026 Bendigo Ford Fun Run courses!

Ramp up into 2026 with our new Training Plans, designed by Andy Buchanan, for the Bendigo Ford Fun Run.

Check out Andy's Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Training Plans for the 5km, 10km and 21.1km Half Marathon distances now available to download via the VERVE website for FREE.

Record numbers means a record amount donated and with $90,000 raised for 2025, this brings the overall total donated to $215,000 since 2022!

What. an. amazing. day! Over 3,000 entries made the 2025 the biggest since the COVID-19 pandemic and we've added over 1,000 participants since 2024.

The atmosphere in Rosalind Park was electric and there was a special community vibe!

A friendly reminder – it’s a ‘fun’ run …

… fast times aren’t the most important thing. We want to bring the people of Bendigo and beyond together to enjoy themselves!

But for those competing for the win - here are our 2025 champions!

Back in November, over 60 people joined us before dawn to run around Bendigo as part of our VERVE SHOP RUN x BENDIGO FORD FUN RUN.

Registrations are now open and to help continue our launch celebrations we are collaborating with VERVE RUNNING to help improve the 2025 Bendigo Ford Fun Run

Over 2500 people are predicted to run and walk through the streets of Bendigo to raise much-needed funds for Bendigo Health as part of the 2025 Bendigo Ford Fun Run on Sunday 2 March.

 Entries are now open for all events, which in 2025 will include a new 3km short course and timed hill climb.

Save the date for the 2025 Bendigo Ford Fun Run. Entries will open on 1st November 2024.

The Bendigo Ford Fun Run 2024 has raised a total of $60,000 to the Bendigo Health Foundation. Thank you, thank you, thank you to each and everyone who ran, walked, cheered, volunteered and sponsored. YOU are part of this success.

The Bendigo Ford Fun Run will return to the streets of Bendigo on Sunday 3 March 2024 and we want YOU to be a part of it. We’ve had people join in as toddlers right through into their 80s and they have all been made welcome to run, walk or roll for a good cause: a new children’s outdoor rehabilitation playspace at Bendigo Health.

An exciting new addition for 2023 was our Bendigo Business Challenge, presented by TSFN. By participating businesses will be helping to raise money for a fabulous local cause at the Bendigo Health Foundation.

Drumroll please ... because the numbers are IN for the 2023 Bendigo Ford Fun Run!
