Cancer Council Women's 5K Run/Walk

City Park hosts this annual run/walk, offering a distinctly local charity atmosphere. The focus is less on personal bests and more on participation, whether you run, walk, join as a team, or join virtually from elsewhere in Tasmania. The event unites participants to “celebrate life and remember loved ones” while raising money for Cancer Council Tasmania’s support, prevention, research, and advocacy efforts. Expect an inclusive course where all participants share the same purpose. Pink is the unofficial uniform, worn in support of the cause, giving the field a recognizable community look before the start. Funds raised remain in Tasmania to “support local cancer services and initiatives,” and the event is smoke-free.
