Kids Dash! Spots remaining: 89
Kids Dash – Just for Fun! 🏃♀️🏃♂️ For the 2026 Kojonup Run 4 Resilience we’re excited to include a Kids Dash – a short, fun run designed especially for the little legends who want to be part of the action! This dash is free to register and is perfect for kids who might not feel quite ready to tackle the 5km distance but still want to join in on the excitement of event day. It’s a non-timed, relaxed run where the focus is all about having fun, getting involved, and soaking up the awesome atmosphere. There are no medals for this one, but there will be plenty of smiles, laughter and energy as the kids sprint their way through a quick dash to burn off some energy (and hopefully be nice and tired for the car ride home!). If you’ve got young kids coming along, make sure you register them for the Kids Dash and let them be part of the day too! 🎉

Directions
Kojonup Run4Resilience will be held at 3747 Broomehill-Kojonup Road. Turn at the "Apex Park" off Albany Highway in Kojonup, and we are 10 km out of town on the right hand side. Please park as directed, no vehicle entry will be permitted into the run zone.
Site Map
Start and Finish flow
All events will follow the same track, with turnaround points according to the distance. Each run will start at the event shed, and run anti-clockwise behind the shed, to then flow down the laneway until turnaround point is reached. To finish, you will turn right as you head back up the last hill stretch, to run though the sheep yards to the finish line.
Course & Amenities
Hydration (water and electrolytes) and a toilet will be available at the 5k, 10k and just prior to the 21k turnaround points.
Timing and Bibs
2) You have been allocated a race number bib and it has an electronic timing tag on the back linked to you and the event you have entered.
3) Before you start you must notify Bib Collection Officials if any of your entry information needs changing eg you are changing events.
4) Do not use someone else’s number bib as this will produce false results for everyone.
5) Attach the bib at WAIST HEIGHT (NOT chest!) to the OUTSIDE FRONT of whatever you will be wearing. Do not bend or fold the tag or tamper with it.
6) There are different start times for different events so please make sure you start at the correct time.
7) Your time and number will be recorded when you pass through the lap/finish timing point provided your race number bib is visible. Covering it with a nutrition belt, clothing or anything else including your hands as you operate a watch will prevent it recording, so your bib must be LOWER than all of these.
8) Race number bibs are disposable & do not need to be returned.
9) Please notify Timing Officials at the finish line:
a) and do not pass through the finish timing point if you cut the course short (for example turning back before your designated "turnaround" point, or taking a shortcut), as we may inadvertently think you have won the race.
b) if you pull out of your race before finishing.
c) and pass through the finish timing point if you lose your race number bib during the race
