How Fun-Runs and Running Events Help

Fun-Runs are a fantastic, win-win way to give back. You get the chance to compete and test your fitness, while also having a great reason to rally your friends and family to help fundraise for charity. Often, people are inspired by the physical challenge of a run, and fundraise in solidarity with those people for whom everyday may be a challenge.

Below we’ve listed every running event in Australia that gives you the chance to fundraise for TLC for Kids.
