Bendigo Ford Fun Run
The Bendigo Ford Fun Run is a community running and walking event held in Bendigo, Victoria, with a main gathering point at Rosalind Park (30 Goal Road, Bendigo). The event returns on 28 February 2027 and opens entries in October 2026. It raises funds for the Bendigo Health Foundation, with over $325,000 donated since 2022 and $110,000 raised in 2026.
The course travels through central Bendigo and passes several local landmarks, including Rosalind Park, Ulumbarra Theatre, the Dai Gum San Chinese Precinct and the Queen Elizabeth Oval. The event presents multiple distance options and includes a dedicated kids dash and a business challenge for workplace teams. Participants may create fundraising pages when they register to collect donations for the Bendigo Health Foundation.
