Marathons and Fun Runs in NSW and ACT

"Mental health is a cause that we are all very passionate about. We have all witnessed either a friend or family member suffer from mental health and we wanted to raise funds and spread awareness for a great cause.

Anyone can fundraise if they are passionate and dedicated- the challenging part is the run! Get a team together, support each other and have fun!"

Top Fundraisers, Brookie, Eddie, Hannah, Jodoe and Maddie, from Runaway Sydney Half Marathon 2023

"Some of the strongest people are those that suffer or have suffered from mental health. We want people to know that they aren’t alone and the community will stand behind them through their journey…
Beyond Blue contributes so much to our community so we knew from the get go they would be our choice. It was awesome to see people from our community contribute to such an amazing cause. "
