Fifth annual ‘Loop the Greens’ sets bigger challenges

Organisers of West Wimmera Health Service’s fifth consecutive ‘Loop the Greens’ event believe this year’s program will be bigger and better than ever.

The program promises a range of new obstacles, more mud, colour and water on the popular Mudarama course, a bungy pull and a new challenge event.

Lionel Godwin from Horsham’s Up Tempo Café and On Track Eating will have his hair coloured if he reaches $500 in donations towards the health service.

Mr Godwin will also complete a strong man challenge of a tractor tyre roll, sled push and car pull if he can raise $1000.

People can help Mr Godwin with his endeavours by donating online at wwhsloopthegreens-funrun.eventbrite. com.au. The event will also feature the traditional three, six and nine-kilometre walk-run courses.

Emma Dickinson will provide a pre warm-up for participants, while West Wimmera Health Service Allied Health team members will offer free blood pressure checks, answer health questions and provide about available services.

Families can enjoy a host of activities, including mini golf, longest drive, bungy pull, jumping castle and face-painting, along with a Nhill Golf Club lunch, Café de Kerb coffee van and Up Tempo Café healthy treats.

Businesses can support the event by sponsoring an obstacle on the course. information
