Inspiro, in collaboration with Yarra Ranges Council, Eastern Health, and Belgravia, is proudly supporting a local campaign encouraging everyone in the community to Get Active in the Yarra Ranges during April.
Come and enjoy a range of free or low-cost activities across the Yarra Ranges for all ages, abilities and families.
Staying active benefits not only our physical health but also helps improve our mental health and social wellbeing. Active April is designed to encourage everyone in the community to embrace physical activity in a way that works best for them, no matter how they choose to get moving.
Being active can mean going for a walk or a bike ride. It can also mean spending time in the garden, jumping on the trampoline, or playing fetch with the dog. By moving your body just a little more every day, you can improve your general health and wellbeing.
FREE Launch Event
Run, walk, stroll, or scooter with us as we launch Active April on the Yarra Trail. All ages and fitness levels are welcome. Spot prizes will be handed out on the day and there will be a scavenger hunt for the kids.
Proudly brought to you in collaboration with the Running Company Lilydale, Mother Runner, and Kindred Warrior Yoga.
