Be a superhero!

Start Father’s Day with the Bendigo’s “Run For Dad” fun run, supported by Barry Plant Real Estate.
Run For Dad is designed to raise your heart rate and much-needed funds for the Bendigo Community Health Service’s men’s health clinic and Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

After your run, enjoy a free breakfast (and free coffee!) PLUS entertainment provided by the Eaglehawk Brass Band.
