The Bendigo Ford Fun Run is a community running event centred at Rosalind Park in Bendigo, Victoria. The event offers multiple course options on roads and park paths through the city and supports the Bendigo Health Foundation. The organiser is Rosalind Events, formed in 2021 to deliver community-led events that benefit local charities.

Participants follow routes that pass several local landmarks, including Rosalind Park, Ulumbarra Theatre, the Dai Gum San Chinese Precinct and the Queen Elizabeth Oval. The half marathon route is described as a scenic journey through Bendigo’s central business district. The event takes place on the traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung and the Taungurung Peoples of the Kulin Nation.

Fundraising is a stated purpose of the event. The run raised $110,000 in 2026, and organisers report more than $325,000 raised to date for the Bendigo Health Foundation.
