Event Overview
The Metung Fun Run is an annual community event in Metung, Victoria, raising funds for Metung Primary School with support from the Lions Club of Metung. The 2026 edition is scheduled for Sunday 8 November 2026. Distances listed by the organisers include a 10km run, 5km run, 5km walk, and a kids’ colour dash of approximately 1km. Course information is provided as a guide and may vary slightly on the day.
What the Course Demands
Based on the published course descriptions, the run routes weave through the Metung township and surrounding streets with several turns and a mix of flatter sections and notable rises, particularly on the longer run. The 10km includes out-and-back segments and repeated changes in direction that can break rhythm. Expect pacing to be influenced by brief climbs and descents and by the need to run efficiently through multiple transitions between sections.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits runners looking for a straightforward local target with short-course options, including a 5km run and a longer 10km that adds extra climbing and more course changes. The 5km walk provides a non-running participation option, while the kids’ colour dash is designed for children aged 12 years and under. Athletes who prefer simple logistics and clear start/finish precincts will fit well.
