It's our 10th Anniversary
Registrations Now Open
The Roo Run turns ten in 2023. From humble beginnings to a "bucket list" Summer event the Roo Run has grown up and this year celebrates its 10th Anniversary. Family, Fun and Community is still at the heart of our event and we hope this year will be bigger and better than ever.
As promised T-shirts are back this year as we know how much everyone loves collecting them over the years. We will need your size, so make sure to put it into the entry form when registering. The t-shirts are limited to the first 200 entrants in each of the 4km and 8km events so make sure that you get in early.
So whether you’re a seasoned campaigner, a weekend jogger, social walker or just starting out your running career, the Great Ocean Road Real Estate Roo Run and Anglesea & District Community Bank Grommets Gallop and offers something for everyone in one of the most scenic locations you could imagine.
This year we are also continuing the Janet Jones Classic (an all abilities event) to be run in conjunction with the Grommets Gallop. The event has grown out of the participation of the Starfish Nippers Run who are now encouraging more all abilities participants to join them on the run.

![]() Great Ocean Road Real Estate is proud to support the Roo Run and AMYC
Great Ocean Road Real Estate is proud to have been a long supporting sponsor of the Anglesea Motor Yacht Club (AMYC) located just behind the boat ramp at Point Roadknight Beach. We love being part of likeminded local community organisations such as the AMYC, they are the true essence of Anglesea and the Point Roadknight area. The AMYC motto of ‘A Great History, Great location, Great people’ is very much in-line with our own company ethos of ‘Our Backyard-Great Knowledge, Great Advice, Great Results’ it’s no wonder our partnership works so well. For those of you who are already members of the AMYC it will be no surprise that after many hard years of planning and approvals the original 1960’s AMYC club house has been extensively renovated and extended. The building is nearing completion and former Commodore Wes Smith was kind enough to show me through what is going to be an amazing new facility for the Anglesea community. As Wes says:- “From the outset our objective has been to maintain the ‘quaintness’ of the building and to enhance the existing ‘look and feel’ of the building. Internally we will have vastly improved kitchen facilities, new bar area, toilets, and a lift, as well as an upgrade of the downstairs showers and increased storage space for our rescue boat and other summer services (Life Saving Patrol base)”. After viewing the building for myself I think that’s exactly what has been achieved. The coastline views from the Rusty Anchor bar upstairs are as dramatic a sea view you’re likely to find anywhere in the world. You can check out the progress of the upgrade on this link https://littlesnitch.io/001/ The club house is due for completion this Christmas with the famous Rusty Anchor Bar back in full swing this summer. If you’d like to become a member feel free to peruse the AMYC website and register your interest at https://www.amyc.net.au You’ll be glad you did. See you all at the ROO RUN on the 27th December. |
