Following the incredible success of last year’s revival, which saw more than 1,000 people through the gates and the event crowned Meeting of the Year by the Victorian Athletic League, the Seymour Running Club is gearing up for an even bigger edition of the Gift this December.
SRC president Blair Collins said the Seymour Club’s continued support as naming rights sponsor had been pivotal to the event’s success.
“The Seymour Club’s backing has been absolutely vital from day one,” Mr Collins said.
“Without their early and ongoing support, bringing the Gift back to Seymour simply wouldn’t have been possible.
“Their investment gives us the financial certainty to keep growing the event and building something special for our town.”
Mr Collins said preparations were well underway for the 2025 edition, with a full day of elite racing, community engagement, and family entertainment planned.
“The Seymour Club Gift has quickly become one of the standout events on the VAL calendar,” he said.
“We’re committed to making it bigger and better each year and we can’t wait to welcome athletes, locals and visitors alike back to Kings Park on December 13.”
Seymour Club president Sandra O’Sullivan said the Club was thrilled to continue its partnership with the Seymour Running Club and to once again hold naming rights for the Gift.
“The Seymour Club is incredibly proud to be associated with such a vibrant and successful community event,” Ms O’Sullivan said.
“The Running Club has shown great drive and professionalism and their efforts have well and truly put Seymour on the map in the athletics world.
“The Seymour Club Gift brings people together, it’s great for local sport, great for tourism, and great for the community.
“We’re very excited to see it all unfold again this December.”
With significant prize money on offer and athletes from across Victoria expected to compete, the 2025 Seymour Club Gift promises to be another spectacular day of athletics and community celebration at Kings Park.
