Details:
This Fathers Day, the 5 km fun run and family festival returns to Sydney Olympic Park and to Melbourne’s Albert Park raising awareness about prostate cancer with the general public and communities.
This years exciting new program will feature 5 hours of entertainment and activities for the whole family to enjoy. Anyone who loves the dragon warrior ‘Po’ from Kung Fu Panda, is encouraged to arrive for the early morning Kung Fu warm up with Po and his Kung Fu master, followed by activities with Po in the festival.
Runners, Walkers and Joggers will experience plenty of on track entertainment to cheer them along the way. The race has prizes for the serious athlete and is also a healthy walk for the whole family to do together.
Around the festival, kids of all ages will be entertained with an animal farm that will be showcasing cuddly guinea pigs, rabbits, chicks, kid goats and their mums. Some of the bigger animals will include Alpacas and the cutest calves.
Children under 6 years of age will be given free access to face painting, pony rides and a giant adventure play jumping castle. If you are over 6 and participate in the 5km fun walk or run you will have full access to all entertainment (just save your race bib for entry).
There will be plenty of main stage entertainment including bands. Food stalls for lunch and plenty of tents and marquees to stroll around. Get your hands on a show guide when you arrive so that you don’t miss out on the scheduled entertainment.
Money raised will be used to fund research programs dedicated to find a cure for prostate cancer. The event also helps to build a stronger awareness of men’s health issues within the community.
So get your trainers on - enlist your family, friends and colleagues - and step up to support the fight against prostate cancer!
