Get ready for 2025 HBF Run for a Reason

Early bird entries will open in early 2025, so gather your friends, family, and colleagues for a day that brings our community together in support of meaningful causes.

After the remarkable success of the 2024 event, which raised over $1.3 million for more than 280 charities, we’re eager to set new records this year.

Dr. Lachlan Henderson, HBF Chief Executive Officer, shared his excitement: “We are thrilled that the 2024 run was a sell-out and the largest HBF Run for a Reason on record, and we’re looking forward to an even bigger event in 2025. HBF Run for a Reason is more than just a race; it’s a vibrant celebration of community spirit and philanthropy.

“Each participant runs for personal reasons, whether for health, wellness, or to support a cause close to their heart. Every donation—no matter the size—makes a difference for vital charities.”

A standout moment from the 2024 event was the vibrant team from Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation (PCHF), led by ambassador Olivia, who completed the 4-kilometre race in her PCHF-funded frame runner during her first HBF Run for a Reason. PCHF supporter and TV star Locky Gilbert also participated, taking on both the 12-kilometre and 4-kilometre events for the Foundation.

Carrick Robinson, CEO of the Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation (PCHF), said, “Earlier this year, the PCHF community came together and hit the pavement for the HBF Run for a Reason, raising an incredible $42,000. These funds have already been making an impact here in WA, supporting our state’s sickest kids through providing the best possible equipment and technology, ground-breaking research, critical education and training programs, access to leading experts and enhancing positive patient experiences at Perth Children’s Hospital.

“We’re excited to be saving the date for the 2025 HBF Run for a Reason and walking, running and wheeling our way to make an even bigger impact for WA’s sick kids again next year.”

We encourage corporate teams to join in the fun, fostering camaraderie while giving back to the community. Plus, HBF members can save 20% on entry fees! 

Mark your calendars for what promises to be an unforgettable day of running, walking, or wheeling across the finish line together. Stay updated by following us on social media or visiting hbfrun.com.au.
