Fundraising
The Lane Cove Fun Run is organised by volunteers on behalf of The Lane Cove Public School P&C. By entering the run you will be participating in a great community event as well as supporting a local public school.
Race fees cover the cost of extensive road closures, RMS safety marshals, St John’s Ambulance, official race timing and bibs.
Any remaining proceeds will go towards providing extra teachers and learning support staff at Lane Cove Public School.
10% of Net Proceeds Will be Donated To Charity
There is also the opportunity to donate to these charities during the registration process.
