Midnight deadline looms for fun run early bird entries

Just hours remain to secure your cut-price early bird entry for the annual Canberra Times Fun Run on November 10.

Early Bird entries close at midnight, on Thursday, September 26.

This years brings a start day reshuffle for the big event, which has been held every year since 1976 and usually in late September.

But with the recent change in the paper's ownership, a new partner on board for the big event, and the prospect of great weather closer to the start of summer, this year it's been pushed back to November.

The fun run offers 2km, 5km, and 10km distance options for participants and by going with the early bird option, participants can save $10 on a standard entry, and $20 for a family.

The courses start and finish by the lake at Rond Terrace, with staggered starts for each distance category and the emphasis, as always, is on the fun element.

Regardless of how the Raiders perform on Friday, there's bound to be plenty of green in the crowd. Live music and children's activities will be at the finish line, together with some recuuperative refreshments.

For the first time, Sole Motive, publisher of the award-winning magazine Runner's World, has come on board as a sponsor.
