The Bankwest Gallipoli run through Perth's beautiful Kings Park is held in recognition of the great ANZAC spirit. The annual event is a fun way to pay tribute to the ANZACS. And it's got to have a high satisfaction rating to know you’ve not only indulged in some physical activity but you'll also raise money for worthy causes.
The Gallipoli Run recognises the 8km march our ANZAC troops endured once they landed at Gallipoli during World War 1.
It doesn't matter if you run or walk; serious and amateur runners/walkers are catered for with a choice of three options – an 8km run, a 4km run or a 4km walk. In other words, you can go as fast, or as slow, as you like!
Money raised from the Bankwest Gallipoli Run goes to Athletics WA and the RSL.
