About the race
The Dover Fun Run is an annual community running event held in Far South Tasmania that raises funds for the Royal Hobart Paediatric Intensive Care Unit. The event route runs along the foreshore of Port Esperance and offers views of the bay and Adamsons Peak. The organisers report total funds raised since 2019 of $123,179.96.
The programme includes multiple distances and formats, with both in-person and virtual options. Distances offered are:
