News - 2019/2020

Hi Everyone,

Last Saturday (8th Feb 2020) we held our annual Relaython event, to help raise funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. 

This is an annual fun day event held by our Centre to create awareness about and raise funds for this wonderful cause. 

Since the Victorian Little Athletics Association was formed in the late 1960’s, the RCHGFA has been an annual calendar event. LAVic has collectively raised over $1m from fundraising events, throughout the state Centres.

The purpose of the Relaython is to have a fun day for all, have one relay baton make its way around the track non-stop and the goal is to run as many laps as possible in the best possible timeframe. 

This years result from our annual Relaython Are very impressive, they stack up nicely against previous years. We ran 130 laps of the track in 3h 23m 43.57s. 

• Start time 8:49am
• Our first Lap was run by Logan and Harley Irvine
• Laps 1-9 run thru the warm up

• Laps 75-79 were run by a mixture of parents and athletes
• Lap 80 was run by 2x dads and their kids
• Laps 81-84 were run by U8
• Lap 85 was run by Logan Irvine
• Lap 86-90 was run by U11
• Lap 91-130 were run by parents and athletes once the program had finished
• Lap 130 was run by Max Taborsky and the whole group that stayed behind to run laps
• Relaython for 2020 concluded at 12:13pm

A massive thank you to everyone who took part in our Relaython, it’s a great chance for our parents to get involved and have a fun run with their kids too. 

We have not totalled the moneys raised yet because we will continue to sell raffle tickets next Saturday morning, for a short time, before drawing our winners. 

Kind Regards,
