Upcoming Events
Berryfields Pack Run/Walk
Saturday 26 October
Meet at The Meadows Sprig + Fern on 26 October for a social run & walk. We'll start at the Berryfields bridge, follow the stream track around Arvida and then head out onto the Great Taste Trail towards Best Island Road.
Our pack runs are a fun, non-competitive way to enjoy running or walking together. It’s perfect for all levels! Here’s how it works: we run an out-and-back course, where everyone starts at the same time. After 30 minutes, no matter how far you’ve gone, we all turn around and head back. This way, faster runners cover more distance but everyone finishes together.
It’s a social run, so you’ll naturally fall into smaller groups with others running at your pace. It’s a great chance to meet new people, share the experience, and enjoy a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.
Meet at the Sprig + Fern The Meadows, Richmond.
Runners and Walkers all start at 2:30pm, but please be there at 2:25 pm for the briefing.
Note: The course crosses Lower Queen Street twice, so children will require parental supervision.
There’s no registration and no timing for this event, so Webscorer numbers are not needed.
Enjoy a drink & time together at the Sprig + Fern The Meadows afterwards!
