This year former Yellow Wiggle Sam Moran is Run for the Hills ambassador.
Partnered by the Hills News and Transurban (Hills M2), the 8-kilometre run starts at 8am with the street festival kicking off at 10am.
The festival includes live entertainment throughout the day on the main stage in the pop-up park, complete with fresh green grass; the Designer Markets, where you will find the latest in women's, men's and children's apparel, plus accessories, homewares and much more.
Kids will love the NAB KidsZone, where they can play, ride and create for gold coin donations.
Sam will be the official race starter and will also perform two Sam and the Bam Bam Bino's shows on the Main Stage, as well as meet and greet children, throughout the day. Sam said he is delighted to be the ambassador this year.
"Lifestart help so many young preschoolers with disabilities and their families. So everyone, come have some fun at the run and help them continue to do their vital work"

"Lifestart help so many young preschoolers with disabilities and their families," he said.
"So everyone, come have some fun at the run and help them continue to do their vital work."
Run for the Hills founder and chairwoman Yvonne Keane said with his wealth of experience as a children's entertainer, and now with a young family of his own, Sam understands the importance of early intervention for children with a special need.
"We are so grateful that he has generously chosen to lend his celebrity and enormous talents to Run for the Hills," she said.
Ms Keane said: "We are so delighted to have our foundation major partners, the Hills News, Rouse Hill Courier and the Hills M2, back on board for the 3rd Annual Run for the Hills Festival.
"With their help we have put together an incredible event for 2014 that we hope the community loves and results in lots of funds being raised to help Lifestart continue to change little lives."
"It's been great to see the event grow to be such a success over a short period of time"

General manager controlled assets NSW, Transurban, Craig Greene, said it's an honour to support the event again.

"It's been great to see the event grow to be such a success over a short period of time."
