2025 sees the emphasis again on providing an incentive for the kids to get out there and get active. This year will see us tick over 1000 kids under 12 participating free!

We believe most people like to get out for a walk or run to simply clear their heads. So a few years back we created an affordable sub-event for people of all ages, fitness levels, and physical capabilities with the aim to get more people moving.

The Bully Buster 4 km is once again promoting the link between physical fitness and mental health, in particular, our youngest and most vulnerable, our kids.

ON-DAY ENTRIES: always sold out, but if required $40.00 for 13 years +, $20.00 for 12 years and under.

Why 4 km? 

1 in 4 young Australians between the ages of 12 & 25 will live with a mental health issue, and of those only 1 in 4 will seek help. So if a 4 km walk can highlight these stats and make more of society aware that's a good thing.

The Bully Buster 4km will start from Bellarine Sunset Run HQ in front of the Portarlington Pier and will start immediately before the Active Feet Half Marathon. It will make its way in the opposite direction to the runs heading 2 km towards Point Richards along the Bellarine Coastal Trail passing the caravan park on the water’s edge before turning back at the miniature railway.

The terrain is a nice flat unsealed gravel trail suitable for strollers, children, and the elderly and on course we will have water hydration stations and course marshals to help make your walk more pleasurable.
