Event Summary
The Active Farmers’ Run for Resilience is designed to provide a challenging, fun and family-friendly event. In a world where it's hard to find the time and motivation to keep active, this event provided the inspiration required for the local and surrounding communities.
The recent effects of widespread flooding in Victoria and southern NSW saw this year’s Run for Resilience @ Table Top NSW rescheduled from 23rd October to Sunday 20th November in the hope that the wet weather conditions may dry out. The day was set to be enjoyed by more than 200 participants, volunteers and spectators, however, mother nature decided that the event this year was meant to be wet - and wet it was! This did not deter the brave who rolled up to get involved (and dirty) and enjoy every bit of this fun-filled day.
The spectacular venue of Paintball Albury-Wodonga, east of Gerogery, added to the day’s success. The 10km and 21km running trails started at the Paintball Centre and wound their way up into the hills of Table Top Mountain, crossing over creeks to the convention centre and old open-air chapel. From here the participants were able to take in the beautiful views as they looped and headed back down the trail to the start.
The 5km trail was full of fun, laughs and families, with many of the kids showing the adult participants up!
A huge thank you to Roger, Hamish and James Paterson for allowing Active Farmers to use their property to host this year’s event.
In addition to the trail runs, kids enjoyed face-painting, balloons, music and more. Many lucky people went home with prizes generously donated by RB Sellars, Alex Berry Fine Wines, Gill’d Albury and Monumental Icecreamery.
