Winter Solstice Fun Run

The Winter Solstice Fun Run in Portland offers a festive way to celebrate the shortest day of the year with multiple scenic running and walking events. Participants can choose from four distances: a 9km route around Fawthrop Lagoon and the Foreshore, a classic 15km run from Cape Nelson Lighthouse to town, a challenging 25km trail incorporating parts of the Great South West Walk, and a new Irish Mad Mile through central Portland. A free 1km Kids Dash is also available. The courses provide a mix of coastal and trail scenery, with buses supporting longer distances. The event supports charity, donating $2 per entry to Beats Cycle for Hope. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
