2019 is the 10th Anniversary of the CFA and MFB running clubs joining forces again for the 10th Annual CFA and MFB 14hr Relay.
This annual event see the CFA and MFB raising funds for The Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) Good Friday Appeal in conjunction with the Not for Profit Organisation "The Uncle Bobs Club"
The relay event for 2019 will commence at 07:00hrs Thursday 18 April 2019 and conclude Thursday 18 April 2019.
We are seeking joggers/runners to come do a km or 2 or 10 on the treadmill for a hour or couple of hours during the day. Also we are seeking assistance from those interested in tin rattling around Bourke St Mall and surrounding areas.
This is is open to all staff and volunteers.
As per tradition we have a friendly competition to see which service can reach the longest distance on the treadmill.
The team will have, at all times, 1 x CFA runner and 1 x MFB runner on treadmills, with teams of runners rotating around the 14hr time period.
Since this event started 10 years ago a cumulative total of over $202,000 has been raised for the Royal Children’s Hospital (equivalent of purchasing 80 hospital beds) and over 2500kms run. (The equivalent of running from Melbourne to Auckland-
Involvement from both CFA and MFB has been amazing over the years. Many firm friendships have been established through this event.
