Run for Hope
Saturday 6 September 2025
8am - 8pm
Run, walk or crawl as many 1.5km laps as you can in either 12 or 6 hours, and help raise funds for PAPYRUS - The Prevention of Young Suicide. ​
Race rules – how it works
​Set your goal
Before the race begins, each runner sets a personal number of laps to complete every hour. Got a total distance in mind for the 6 or 12 hours? Break it down into hourly targets to keep you moving throughout the whole race. This is a challenge - so set yourself a goal that will scare, excite and test what you're capable of.
​
Start each hour together
On the hour, every hour, everyone starts running — aiming to hit their own hourly lap goal.
Rest or go beyond
Once you’ve completed your hourly target you can rest until the next hour begins, or keep running to challenge yourself and go beyond.
