La Trobe University’s annual walk and run campus event returns bigger and better than ever in 2025.
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.
This year at the Melbourne Campus on Thursday 4 September, La Trobe staff, students 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 assist with your preparation 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 students and staff to come together, 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 we’re 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, connect with colleagues and be part of something bigger.
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 return the focus on the Bendigo campus to creating a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere for all participants.
