Friends Run Fest 2025

Friends Run Fest 2025

Run or walk your way to stopping cancer!

Friends Run Fest is all about celebrating movement, connection, and giving back. It’s a day to come together in support of a cause that touches so many, raising vital funds for Cancer Council Victoria. Whether you choose the 5km, 10km run or walk, or take on the 21.1km challenge, Friends Run Fest is designed to be a supportive and fun day. In 2024, over 150 participants helped raise $13,000 in our first-ever event. This year, we’re aiming even higher with a $15,000 fundraising goal. Every step taken brings us closer to supporting the incredible work of Cancer Council Victoria.

Please note: This event will not be timed.
