Anzac Day milestone run call to Hobsons Bay residents

Hobsons Bay Running Club is inviting the community to help celebrate a milestone on Anzac Day.

Following a one-minute silence, the club will hold its 250th 5000-metre handicap at 8.01am on April 25.

Formed in 1994, the social running club regularly holds runs around the Williamstown and Newport area of Port Phillip Bay.

Club member Kieran Leonard says current, past and new members are invited to register for the five-kilometre run, which will be followed by a complementary barbecue breakfast at the clubrooms, situated at the Old Gatehouse next to Newport Power Station.

“We run Tuesday and Thursday nights and Sunday mornings,” Leonard said.

“We’re not-for-profit and we’ve got about 65 active members.”

No fees will be charged for the anniversary event, but people are asked to register in advance and confirm their presence at 7.45am at the corner of The Strand and North Road, Newport.
