FLASHBACK: Caroline Cavanagh and Esther Farmilo, from Kingaroy, dressed up as pink pussycats for the 2015 Mother’s Day Classic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 2, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

The popular Mother’s Day Classic Fun Run – which has traditionally been held at Kingaroy’s Memorial Park – is moving to a new location this year.<\/p>\n

The Fun Run will be relocating to the rear of Wondai Town Hall in Mackenzie Street so walkers and runners can make use of the new South Burnett Rail Trail.<\/p>\n

The fun morning will be held on Sunday, May 14 and usually attracts up to 300 participants.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Organisers say it’s the perfect way for families to enjoy a memorable start to Mother’s Day.<\/p>\n

Walkers and runners will travel along the Rail Trail towards Tingoora, then turn around at special markers for the journey back.<\/p>\n

The Wondai Lions will be cooking up breakfasts (to give mum a break) and there’ll be a multi-draw raffle, too.<\/p>\n

Registrations for the fun run will start at 8:00am at the Mackenzie Street side of Coronation Park.<\/p>\n

After a warm-up around 8:45am, participants will then set off on either a 4km walk, a 4km run or an 8km run.<\/p>\n

The fun run isn’t a timed event, so no race packs or bibs are required.<\/p>\n

Participants will receive a Certificate Of Participation, and if there are sufficient stocks, a 2017 medallion as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Entry fees are $25 for adults and $15 for children or concession card holders, but early birds who register online<\/b><\/a> by May 10 can get a $5 discount.<\/p>\n

There are also family rates available: one adult and up to two children $35 (earlybird) or $45; two adults and up to two children $55 (earlybird) or $65.<\/p>\n

All funds raised go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and all entrants are encouraged to dress up in pink.<\/p>\n

This year’s Mother’s Day Classic is being organised by the Kingaroy Nutters running group.<\/p>\n
