About this race
Ancona Road places this event on Bonnie Doon’s rural outskirts, where paddocks, creeks, hills, and the expansive VIC sky provide an authentic setting. The Bonnie Doon Run 4 Resilience 2026 is part of the Run 4 Resilience series, a collection of community-focused running events designed to encourage physical and mental wellbeing among rural and regional residents.
The atmosphere prioritizes personal achievement over competitive timing. Participants can run, jog, power walk, go with a friend, or enjoy a solo run for quiet reflection. The event welcomes families, beginners, and experienced runners alike. The longer race distances offer a genuine challenge of endurance, determination, and grit, maintaining the event’s local, charity-run ethos: “run or walk — and kick some butt.”
