Event Overview
The Darrel Chapman Fun Run is a long-running community event held in Lismore, NSW, with more than 30 years of history. The 2026 edition is listed for 30 August. Distances include a 4km walk/run, 10km run,and half marathon. The event supports Our Kids, a local charity that raises funds for lifesaving equipment for local hospitals.
What the Course Demands
Detailed course metrics are not published in by the organiser, so athletes should plan for a standard organised road run environment and confirm route specifics closer to race day. With distances ranging from 4km to half marathon, pacing and effort strategy will vary significantly. The longer events typically reward steady pacing, controlled execution, and appropriate fuelling, while the 4km and 10km are better suited to controlled, higher-intensity efforts.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits a broad range of runners, from first-timers looking for a short walk/run through to experienced athletes targeting half marathon. It also works well for those who value a community-focused event linked to a local cause. Runners wanting highly specific published course metrics may need to verify details once available.
