Craigieburn Festival of fun, food and fitness

Hume residents are being encouraged to pull on their active wear and lace up their runners for the inaugural Craigieburn Twilight Run.

The five-kilometre family fun run will be held on Saturday, March 3 as part of the Craigieburn Festival.

It will start at Craigieburn Anzac Park at 5pm, with runners heading north along Windrock Avenue, then along a section of the Malcolm Creek Trail and back to Anzac Park. Entry is $5 for adults and free for children with an accompanying adult.

Participants can run or walk the event and wheelchair access is also available.

Mayor Geoff Porter said the fun run was a great opportunity for everyone to get active in a fun environment. “The event welcomes runners and walkers of all ages and fitness levels to get active and fit with friends and family,” he said.

“After participating in the Craigieburn Twilight Run, you can continue the fun by enjoying everything else that the Craigieburn Festival has to offer this year.”

The festival, which runs from 11.30am-9.30pm, will feature rides, food trucks, fireworks, an animal farm, and performances by local musicians and entertainers.
