Residents of the Dandenong area are being invited to join in with a free event that encourages residents to move more.
A free sausage sizzle may encourage residents in the vicinity to register for an exercise event that encourages people to walk, run or roll around Dandenong Park.
The annual Greater Dandenong fun run is returning, encouraging people to cover the five-kilometre course by walking, running or rolling. This initiative is part of the Make Your Move campaign, helping to raise awareness of and provide an environment for physical activity for the whole community, supporting a journey towards not only better health, but stronger mental stability and clarity, plus the chance to connect socially with those sharing the same goal.
Health initiatives like this one may often be advertised within local communities by means of poster printing and subsequent display, helping to attract interested residents.
The Greater Dandenong Fun Run, Walk and Roll will be taking place on Saturday, 24 January, from 7.30 am until 9.30 am. The venue is Dandenong Park, 42 Pultney Street, Dandenong. There will be a briefing in front of the stage. It is a free event, but it is necessary to register for a place. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome, and participants can be timed if they additionally register through the parkrun website.
