Long Run To Inclusion 2026

Long Run To Inclusion 2026

A 400km endurance challenge from Mount Victoria to Canberra, supporting Hotel Etico and raising funds for young people.

In March 2026, Hotel Etico’s CEO and Co-Founder Andrea Comastri will run over 400kms to connect Hotel Etico’s original home in Mount Victoria with new Academies of Independence in Leura and Canberra. The goal is to raise $400,000 to help Hotel Etico continue to train and employ 30 young people each year.

There are several ways to get involved:

• Make a donation or fundraise.
• Run virtually or in person: Join the virtual challenge, individually or as a team, and encourage friends and family to run, march, walk, swim, or ride at least 21Kms each week during March 2026.
• Register to run one of the stages with Andrea (limited places).
• Sponsor the event.
• Express interest in running a matching donations campaign.

Raise $1,000 individually or as a team and receive a free event t-shirt!
