Tassal Ten and Annabelle’s Run – Dover and the World!
We are delighted to hold the 2020 Tassal Ten as an IN-PERSON and as a VIRTUAL event! 2020 has been a challenging year to say the least and our first priority is the health and safety of participants. We are holding the event in Dover on Sunday, 1 November 2020 with a COVID Safe plan in place. We will continue to reassess the health situation and communicate any updates.
This year we will also have an option for virtual participation, this means you can join us from anywhere in the world for the Tassal Ten or Annabelle’s Run. You can run the virtual event from 30 October to 1 November 2020. Record and submit your time and you will go on the virtual leaderboard.
All participants in the Tassal Ten and children in the Annablle Run will receive a finisher medal. Virtual runners receive their medal and a certificate in the mail!
This running event is a fundraiser! All profits will go the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the Royal Hobart Hospital. You can also donate to PICU during the registration or on the day.
Should the current public health advice change, the In-Person run may have to be cancelled. All registrations for the In-Person run will then automatically be converted to a virtual run participation. As this is a fundraiser, no refunds will be issued.
Online registrations open 15 September and close Saturday, 31 October 2020 at 5 pm. Numbers are strictly limited! No late registrations, no registrations available on the day.
