Stawell Easter Lindsay Kent Fun Run returned to the original location to the Stawell racecourse for the 39th year. Numbers were up on the previous two running’s of the event. Many supporters and families of runners that participates at the Gift love to attend this event, just to say ‘I ran at Stawell over the Gift carnival’. It was great to see all the parents running alongside their children, many beating their parents across the line.
