Dover Fun Run

The Dover Fun Run, held annually in Dover, Far South Tasmania, is also known as the Tassal Ten Fun Run and Annabelle's Run. It supports fundraising for the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Hobart Hospital, established after Annabelle Skinner's recovery from a serious head injury requiring weeks in the unit as a toddler. The inaugural event attracted 250 participants and raised $7072 for the unit; the run now draws participants and families from throughout Tasmania. The source indicates the setting as Far South Tasmania but provides no route details. The race's origin story is local: Annabelle's parents, Gemma and John Skinner, aimed to reciprocate the care their family received, with the concept materializing through Far South Future and numerous volunteers. Tassal provided support to the family following Annabelle's accident, with staff contributing to working bees and fundraising efforts, and the company has sponsored the fun run since its inception. Over five years, the event has generated over $47,000, with one recent edition contributing more than $10,000 to the Hobart paediatric unit.
