Health foundations to benefit from Metrogaine
ANOTHER successful Mareeba Lions Family Fun Metrogaine was held recently, raising $4000 which will be donated to health research foundations.
Cool Runnings celebrate winning the 2025 Mareeba Lions Family Fun Metrogaine.
Around 60 people took part in the Metrogaine event which involves participants being given a list of clues and asked to walk around the town to find the marker to which the clue relates.
Points are given for correctly locating the marker, and at the Mareeba event on 7 June, it was Cool Runnings who claimed first place.
The first ever Mareeba event took place in 2013 and has been held ever since (except for 2020), raising $50,000 over that time that has been donated to the Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation.
For the first time in 2024, the event raised money for the Queensland and Northern New South Wales Lions Medical Research Foundation (LMRF).
The 2025 event will see $2000 donated to both foundations.
