Healthy Canberra: What’s On In July 2016

Canberra is buzzing with activities in July. As always, we’re rounding up the health-related ones we thought you might be interested in.

Here’s what’s happening in the coming month of July:

1 July: Bravehearts 777 Marathon; Commonwealth Place, Canberra

The Bravehearts 777 features 7 marathons in 7 states in 7 days. Marathon No. 5 happens in Commonwealth Place in Canberra on July 1st.

You can take part in this fundraising activity by being a supporter of child protection and share Bravehearts vision to make Australia the safest place in the world to raise a child.
