Rosalind Park transforms into Bendigo's beating philanthropic heart at the Bendigo Ford Fun Run 2026 on March 1, where seven distinct distances—from 1km Kids Dash to 21.1km Half Marathon—channel community energy directly into regional healthcare innovation. This multi-tiered event, presented by an alliance of local businesses from Jenny's ELC to G.J. Gardner Homes, reimagines traditional fun run structure through specialized registration categories accommodating solo competitors, corporate teams, and bundled family participation with discounted pricing. More than athletic gathering, the morning represents a collective investment in Bendigo Health's critical services spanning neurology, cancer care, pediatrics, and mental health support.
With early bird pricing available through February 1st and under-16 discounts automatically applied at checkout, the event prioritizes accessibility while fostering intergenerational participation along Gaol Road's scenic course. The true finish line extends beyond Park boundaries into hospital wards where fundraising translates directly into advanced medical equipment, specialized staff training, and enhanced patient care—proving that Bendigo's strongest strides often support its most vulnerable residents.
