La Trobe University’s annual walk and run campus event is back, bigger and better than ever in 2025 – and you’re invited!
Run La Trobe is La Trobe Sport’s annual fun run and walk event series, formerly known as the Team La Trobe Walk & Run.
Designed to champion physical and mental wellbeing, the series fosters community connection across our Melbourne (Bundoora) and Bendigo campuses.
Melbourne (Bundoora) Campus event
This year at the Melbourne Campus on Thursday 4 September, La Trobe students, staff and the wider community can take on either a 5km walk or run, with the exciting addition of a new 10km run option.
The event will feature official race timing, energising warm-up sessions, cheer zones, a recovery zone, live music, food and plenty of giveaways to keep the energy high.
To help prepare you for this year’s Run La Trobe, La Trobe Sport has re-launched its weekly Run La Trobe Walk & Run Group on Wednesdays from the Indoor Sports Centre.
Co-hosted by our Team La Trobe Student Ambassadors and Run La Trobe Ambassadors, these weekly sessions are a great way for participants to connect, get moving and build community ahead of the marquee event.
This year, La Trobe Sport is teaming up with Red Bull to help energise participants each week with product giveaways, and is currently lining up some exciting new additions to keep things fresh and fun.
Whether you’re walking or running, our weekly Run La Trobe Walk & Run Group is a great way to stay active and be part of something bigger.
Bendigo Campus event
In Bendigo on Tuesday 16 September, this year’s Community Walk or Run will form part of the Campus Engagement team’s Spring Fest — a celebration of community, connection and campus life.
As part of the larger Run La Trobe series, this year’s events are designed to bring people together and highlight the Bendigo Campus as a welcoming, inclusive environment.
