Run for the Kids 2026
Date Published: 5th Feb 2026
Whether you run, walk, or roll, it’s time to gather your workmates and register for the 20th birthday of Melbourne’s most beloved fun run, the Herald Sun / Transurban Run For The Kids on Sunday, 29 March.
Each year, thousands of Victorians pound the pavement on CityLink – operated by Transurban – to enjoy this fun, family-friendly event which has raised more than $24 million for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal since it commenced in 2006.
Participants can choose between a 14.4km long course and a 4.7km short course which both include a trip across the Bolte Bridge to enjoy spectacular views of Melbourne.
And if walking or running is not your thing, why not volunteer with your colleagues or family.
