Elite Energy partners with Goulburn Mulwaree Council to deliver running event among wind turbines
Hosted by Elite Energy Events in partnership with Goulburn Mulwaree Council, the community fun run ‘Run with the Wind’ will take place at the Iberdrola Woodlawn Wind Farm near Tarago on Sunday 23rd October 2022.
Offering participants the best of both worlds – an opportunity to run among the wind turbines and marvel at the might of the renewable giants, while challenging themselves on the running course – the event caters to all running abilities, from walkers to Olympian-grade runners.
With a festival feel and a friendly atmosphere, participants are able to choose from four different distance courses – 2km, 5km, 10km and, to celebrate after two missed years (due to the COVID-19 pandemic), a newly added 21km half marathon.
Race Director Mark Emerton is excited to be delivering this year’s ‘Run with the Wind’ – a challenging, yet immensely rewarding course and a favourite among the running community.
Emerton notes “this is such a unique event – the wind turbines are just incredible to experience up close, and the views are phenomenal. Our team is very excited to be involved in this iconic run.”
The event is expected to attract approximately 900 people to the region including participants, officials and families. Based on data from past ‘Run with the Wind’ events, around 95% of entrants are expected to come from outside the Goulburn Mulwaree region.
According to recent sports tourist spending data from Tourism Research Australia, this event is expected to inject over $250,000 into the local economy.
