Get down to the fourth annual Duckpond Dash at Lake Alford
The annual Duckpond Dash at Lake Alford is a great opportunity for people of all ages to get a group of friends together and get walking (or running!).
The 4th Annual Senior’s Week Duckpond Dash will be held on Saturday 18 August at Lake Alford between 9am – 11.30am.
Dashers can register for the Baby-Boomer Bolt, the Grey Nomad Knockout, Club Classic or the Intergenerational Team Relay with a group of friends.
People of all fitness levels are encouraged to enter these novelty races. Weird and wacky costumes are welcome.
For a gold coin donation all entrants will be welcome to enjoy a morning Devonshire Tea and barista coffee with entertainment by the Retro Jukebox Singers.
