The Melbourne office of underwriting agency Dual has begun its campaign to raise $30,000 for farmers with its annual Run the Tan event earlier this month.

Commercial Manager Emily Winwood told insuranceNEWS.com.au about 100 brokers and staff from insurance law firm Wotton + Kearney joined the Dual team on the Tan track, raising $1975 for this year’s designated charity Rural Aid.

Rural Aid was founded in 2015 to help farmers hit by droughts, floods and other natural disasters.

For every kilometre run or walked, Dual donated $5 for a staff member and $20 for a broker.

The group has also held a film night in Perth, and a bike ride from Orange to Wagga Wagga, raising nearly half of its $30,000 target for the year.
