The 2km Fun Run offers a relaxed, family-friendly experience set entirely around the picturesque Victoria Park Lake. Perfect for first-timers, kids, families, and anyone wanting to soak up the race-day atmosphere, this event allows participants to be part of the Shepparton Running Festival without the pressure of longer distances.
Starting at the festival hub, runners and walkers will follow a scenic, paved pathway that hugs the shoreline of Victoria Park Lake for the entire course. The route is 100% flat, fully accessible, and stroller-friendly — ideal for younger runners, parents with prams, and those looking for a comfortable walk or jog. You'll enjoy uninterrupted lake views as you make your way around, with the calm water, parklands, and surrounding community providing a perfect backdrop.
Throughout the course, energetic volunteers and spectators will cheer you on, helping create a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment from start to finish. Whether you're running your very first event, chasing a family fitness goal, or simply joining in the festival vibe, the 2km Fun Run delivers a rewarding race experience for participants of all ages.
You'll return to the festival finish line to collect your medal and enjoy post-race festivities, food vendors, music, and plenty of entertainment for the whole family.
