Project Description
Project purpose The purpose of the 2015 North Ryde Fun Run Project is to raise funds for
Rotary causes such as Australian Rotary Health, which aims to support
healthier minds, bodies and communities through research, awareness and
education.
Objectives Raise $10,000 or more from the Fun Run through fees and sponsorship to
donate to Australia Rotary Health for research into youth emotional health,
and for other worthy Rotary projects to support youth
Increase local awareness of the issue of youth emotional health and the
benefits of physical exercise
Increase local awareness of Rotary and recruit new club members
Increase local awareness of the facilities of the Macquarie University Sport
and Recreation and the Centre for Emotional Health and its associated
Clinic.
Deliverables The second North Ryde Fun Run will take place on Sunday 30 August 2015.
The Fun Run event will be attended by students, families and workers from
the local area, including North Ryde, Macquarie Park, Beecroft, Epping,
East Ryde, Top Ryde, Ryde and greater Sydney.
Stakeholders The table below describes the stakeholders in this project, their role and the
benefits of the project to them. The stakeholders will form an organising

Constraints, Scope, Dependencies, and Risks
Constraints The project constraints are described in the table below.
Constraint Implications
Event must be contained within
Macquarie University grounds Limit to size of event and running
tracks
Not visible to rest of the campus
Limited volunteers to organise from
North Ryde Rotary Club
May need to limit the number of
entrants, or recruit resources from
outside the Club
Rotary and University risk
management policies
May need to make special
arrangements for health and safety
Scope The scope of the project to be managed is a one-day family and student-
oriented event for 600-800 entrants and attendees.
The scope is not a professional run for entrants who receive large cash
prizes.
Assumptions The assumptions are:
There is a demand for such a Fun Run, based on the 2014 event
The event will host the 5km run for the Macquarie University
Intercollegiate Competition, which has determined the date of the event to
be Sunday 30 August 2015
The stakeholders have the capacity and capability to organise such an
event
A Project Manager is appointed
Approval from the Ryde City Council or local Police may not be needed
unless the Fun Run will not affect local roads
Vendors who normally participate in the Rotary Carols on the Common
event and other Sport and Recreation events will also participate in the Fun
Run
Page 5 of 7
Dependencies The event’s success is dependent on:
Free resources such as Rotary and university student labour
Macquarie University and College participation
Suitable weather conditions
Sponsorship – in cash and in kind
Effective marketing
St John’s Ambulance first aid service
Macquarie University cleaning and security services
Rotary District insurance approval
Website with online registration and payment forms
Collaboration with the CEH
Risks and
contingencies The table below identifies the project’s risks and contingencies.
Risk Probability Severity Contingency
No or low
sponsorship
30% Impact is
potentially high
Organise the
event so that it
does not depend
on any cash
except entry fees
Unsuitable
weather
40% Impact is
dependent on the
severity of the
weather
Cancel event if
the weather
makes the
course unsafe
Entries are low 50% Low-medium
impact
1. Stage the
event anyway
with low
numbers.
2. Engage
vendors that
can be
cancelled
without
penalty.
Entries are high 50% High impact Implement a cut-
off threshold.
