The Age Run Melbourne  July 15th 

Each year Urban Seed Run’s Melbourne to help us raise money for the work we do.

Run Melbourne is a community fitness event for everyone, where participants  can do a half-marathon, a 10km run and a 5km run or walk starting and finishing at Federation Square. Run Melbourne  works with the Everyday Hero program to help raise a significant amount of funds for charitable organisations. 

If you like Urban Seed and the work we do, why not sponsor our runners!
