The return of the Seymour Gift after a two decade hiatus is just under a month away.
The Seymour Running Club (SRC) has been hard at work preparing for the December 14 event, with the aim of establishing the gift as one of the marquee events on the Victorian Athletic League calendar.
Since its incorporation earlier in the year, the SRC has accepted over 100 Foundation Members and received generous support from a range of local businesses who are eager to see the event return.
SRC President Blair Collins encouraged everyone to show their support and mark the day in their calendars.
“We’re incredibly excited about the gift returning and we can see it being a major boost for the town,” he said.
“From our naming right sponsors at the Seymour Club down to the local businesses sponsoring heats, we’ve been blown away by the support shown around town.
“Kings Park is one of the top surfaces in the state and while we might be biased, we think Victoria’s best athletes are going to love it here.”
There are still some exciting ways to support the SRC ahead of the gift and a new offer for those looking to enjoy the day in style.
“Our Foundation Memberships are still on sale for people looking to show their support. A membership includes a cap, free entry to the gift, and your name in the race program,” Mr Collins said.
“For those looking to enjoy the day in a bit of luxury, we have a corporate hospitality area with a fantastic view of the action.
“Tickets are on sale now for an afternoon of complimentary food and drink on what will be a perfect summer day.”
