After a three-year break, WA’s biggest community run is back with up to 35,000 participants expected to take to the streets in 2023.
Runners, joggers and walkers will be welcomed back into the heart of Perth for the 4km, 12km and half-marathon courses for the first time since 2019.
Registrations open: early 2023
Event date: Sunday 21 May
“This is a much-loved event which has a special place in the hearts of thousands of West Australians who put so much effort into their training or who generously volunteer on the day,” HBF Executive General Manager Member Experience Selina Torrance said.
“We’re grateful to everyone for their understanding and patience over the last few years while Run was put on hold.
“We’re excited that the community can come together again to train for a common goal and participants can fundraise for the charity of their choice.”
Since it began, HBF Run for a Reason has raised $10 million for nearly 200 charities, many of whom rely heavily on the donations of participants to fund their operations and activities.
Registrations will open early in the new year via www.hbfrun.com.au.
