Event Overview
The Lara Fun Run & Walk is held on 29 November 2026 at Serendip Sanctuary on Windermere Rd in Lara, Victoria. The event offers a 10km run (8:10am), a 5km run/walk (8:15am) and a 1km Kids Dash (7:50am). It is promoted as a rare opportunity to run within Serendip Sanctuary, with the loop starting and finishing at Pirra Homestead.
What the Course Demands
With the start and finish based at Pirra Homestead, the event uses loop-style courses inside Serendip Sanctuary. The organisers describe the main loop as flat, which can support even pacing. For the 10km, on-course drink stations are listed at approximately 2.5km, 5km, 7.5km and at the finish, which can influence how athletes plan their in-race hydration and effort management.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners looking for a short-to-mid distance target late in the year, including newer participants choosing the 5km and families entering the 1km Kids Dash. The 10km option can also work for experienced runners who prefer a flatter profile and want a timed result with age-group categories and overall placing determined on gun time.
