In 2012, the Sunday Mail City Bay Fun Run celebrated its 40th year by smashing numbers with a record 39,003 participants. Runners, walkers and wheelers lined the Adelaide City, Federation Centre at Kurralta Park and SAJC to take part in Australia’s largest Fun Run per head of capita. Whilst we raised money for athletics in South Australia we were also able to raise over half a million for over 200 charities! Running and walking encourages the brain to produce endorphins and other neurochemicals that can ease pain and lift your mood.
