The heart and soul of Run The Maine. 💛

A huge thank you to our incredible committee, all volunteers, who gave early mornings, late nights, weekends and a whole lot of hands-on hard work to bring this event to life.

From sponsor meetings and course planning to bib packing, signage and packing down at the finish line, this small team makes a big event happen, year after year.

Pictured: Isobel Byrne, Luke Hooke, Ross Jarvis, Pat Smith, Gavin Krasner (Run Director) and Richard Mayes (aka The Bird 🐦).

Not pictured but every bit as vital: Steve Harris, Pam Joseph and Di Cox.

Thank you for everything you do for our community and for Dhelkaya Health. You're amazing!

Couldn't do it without you. 💛

To our 70+ amazing volunteers, plus the legends from , the Men's Shed and : thank you!

You set up the course, handed out bibs, cheered at every marshal point and packed down with smiles. Your energy and commitment made the day.

Every runner and walker who crossed the line yesterday had a volunteer in their corner. You're the heart of Run The Maine and the reason we can keep supporting Dhelkaya Health.

Chasing a PB? Walking with the kids? Just aiming to cross the line and say "I did it"? You belong here.

Run it, walk it or do a bit of both. Every finish counts, and every step supports Dhelkaya Health, our local hospital. It's a community looking after its own.

Enjoy every moment out there, Castlemaine! 🧡

With thanks to Goldfields Medical Group and all our amazing partners 🧡

Light cloud, low 20s and a nice breeze to keep you cool on course. Honestly, it doesn't get much better for running (or walking) weather.

Lay out your kit, charge your watch and get a good night's sleep. See you at Camp Reserve tomorrow, Castlemaine!

Meet the Silvertop Dancers — and let them convince you that age is no barrier at Run The Maine. 💃🕺

Margaret is 85 and so proud to be doing the Goldfields Medical 5km run/walk — she's aiming to keep going until she's 100. Yvonne, 82, loves that it supports Dhelkaya Health and the wonderful health services we have in Castlemaine, and just has fun doing it. Julie, 73, says everybody should come down and do it — you get fit, you meet lots of people, and you have a fantastic time.

As Margaret puts it: "It doesn't matter if you don't finish, it doesn't matter if it takes a long time — just get out there, enjoy it and do it."

Walk it, have a laugh with friends, and raise money for a great cause. And watch out for this crew on the day — they don't just walk the 5km, they perform too!

Register now — give it a go!
