The first activity took the form of a "Main Ridge Forest Fitness Challenge" in which the public was invited to take part in a run/walk/cycle challenge across the main road which runs through the Main Ridge Forest Reserve. Participants either chose to undertake a 14 km full challenge or a 7 km half challenge, which ended at the Bloody Bay Visitor Facility. All finishers were rewarded with medals and the fastest finisher in various age and gender categories received prizes. The second event was a "Kids' Jamboree" hosted for pre-school students from the surrounding area. The youngsters enjoyed sing-alongs, stories and skits on environmental themes, as well as a petting zoo.
The keen interest and participation from the public in these events has encouraged the organizers to consider hosting these as as annual undertaking. A brief report on the anniversary celebrations is available at this link.
