Springfield Lakes is gearing up for the 5K Your Way Fun Run. Starting and finishing at Brighton Homes Arena, this event set for Sunday, 9 March 2025, will bring the community together to support women living with breast cancer.
A local favourite, the yearly Springfield Fun Run brings friends and families to walk or run for a worthy cause. The event raises money for Mater Chicks in Pink, a group committed to supporting breast cancer-affected women and families.
Stories from locals show why this event matters. Diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in 2023, Corinne was just 39 when she joined the Fun Run while still undergoing treatment.
Another local, Maria, faced her own challenges after being diagnosed with advanced breast cancer in 2022. She highlighted the strength and support these events bring to everyone.
Key Event Details
The 5K walk kicks off at 8:00 a.m. Participants are encouraged to arrive at Brighton Homes Arena by 7:30 a.m. The route follows pathways through Springfield Central, with volunteers stationed along the way to guide and assist.
Participants can enjoy a variety of events in the arena following their crossing of the finish line. There will be a sausage sizzle, coffee, watermelon, face painting, and more. It’s a chance to relax and connect after the walk.
How to Register
Registrations are open now. Participants can join as individuals, create their own team, or be part of the Springfield 5KYW team. Registration details are available on the official fundraising website.
