Event Overview

The Deb Rielly Run for the Kids is organized by a subcommittee of the Dalyston Football Netball Club. It was originally created in 2012 as the "Keeping Kids on Track Fun Run" by Deb Rielly, who was a member of the Bass Coast community devoted to helping young people. The event aims to encourage families and young people to be active outdoors. After a hiatus, the club revived it and renamed it in her memory.

Proceeds from the event support the DFNC junior development program, with a portion donated to charities or programs aligned with Deb Rielly's philosophy and her family's wishes.
