Marathon Volunteers in Action

Perfect weather helped the annual O’Keefe Challenge event’s runners to achieve their personal aspirations utilising the O’Keefe Rail Trail.

Also helping were the many community volunteers, performing various roles that enabled facilities and functions to be provided for the safety of event’s runners.

Road Marshals, Aid Station operators, Route Clearance Rider, Communications operators, were just a few of the volunteer roles performed. Volunteer members from the Friends of the Bendigo-Kilmore Rail Trail were involved, along with other community groups.

With this community support, as well as corporate business sponsorship, the successful O’Keefe Challenge will return in 2026.
