2 ABOUT THE EVENT Melbourne has the reputation of being Australia s Capital of Cool and Run Melbourne, presented by lululemon, only enhances that reputation, celebrating our community s diversity and inclusiveness. Building on the growth and success of the partnership with lululemon in 2017, Run Melbourne enters its second decade as Melbourne s premier winter running event and the No. 1 running event for fundraising in Australia. Run Melbourne, presented by lululemon, will take place on Sunday, 29th July and includes a half-marathon, a 10km and a 5km run/walk. Run Melbourne is owned and managed by Sole Motive, a Melbourne based family business. In the past 10 years Run Melbourne participants have raised just under $14 million for 400 charities making it the highest dollar figure per head of any event in Australia. It s a title Sole Motive is extremely proud of and we know we have to work even harder at to stay at the top. In 2018 Sole Motive expects more than 20,000 runners and walkers taking the total since the events inception to some 200,000 with a target of $2.25m for fundraising. The event s wide appeal has been a major factor in its success from raising funds for a chosen charity, challenging yourself to beat a personal best, taking on a longer distance, staying active in winter, enjoying Melbourne sights, or achieving many goals at once. Run Melbourne is an event with multiple reasons to be a part of.

3 CHARITY MARQUEE PACKAGES Those charities who wish to enhance their Run Melbourne experience can purchase one of our marquee packages. Having a marquee at Run Melbourne gives your charity a central meeting point in the event village at Federation Square and the opportunity to provide the support your runners need for a great event. This is a great way to raise awareness for your cause and attract participants to raise further funds. Please note that if you wish to have catering at your charity marquee this must be arranged separately through one of the Federation Square businesses listed in this brochure. Without our dedicated team of volunteers, Run Melbourne would not be possible. Encourage Melbourne. It s a great way to get everyone together for the day and become part of a community. * Please note: this marquee space is to be used as a meeting point and for promotion of the charity only. Under no circumstances can corporate partners be promoted or displayed. ** Should a charity wish to hand out marketing collateral and merchandise from its marquee, prior approval from Sole Motive needs to be sought. Limited food may be handed out because of food safety regulations. Please contact Lynn Denblyden on Lynn@solemotive.com to discuss this prior to the event.
