HBF Chief Executive Officer Dr Lachlan Henderson said following the remarkable success of the 2024 event the team was gearing up for an even bigger event this year.
“2025 will be the 13th HBF Run for a Reason and follows a record-breaking event last year, with over 37,000 participants raising $1.3 million for more than 280 charities. In 2025 we’re aiming to top that milestone and raise even more money for the community,” he said.
“HBF Run for a Reason is more than a fun run – it’s a celebration of community spirit, generosity, and making a difference. Every participant has their own personal reason to take part, whether it's for health, wellness, or to support a cause close to their heart. And every single donation, no matter how big or small, directly benefits vital charities.”
