Prams are very welcome in the 1k Little Heroes event – we would love the whole family to participate in the 1k.

Prams can take part in the 3k, 5k and 10k however, if you are running with a pram please start at the back of the run.

Wheelchairs are welcome to participate in the 3km, 5km and 10km fun runs, however please review the route first and be aware that there are a few steep inclines along the course.

Yes the course has been AIMs certified as 5k and 10k.

We are holding three different runs to suit everyone’s needs. There is a 10k, 5k and 3k runs. In addition we have two events specifically for children – 1k Junior Dash and the Little Heroes 1k for children 5 and under.

Anyone can enter the event and we encourage runners/walkers of all abilities although please ensure you have trained sufficiently and are fit to do your chosen run/walk and if in any doubt consult your doctor.

We are working with the Australian Government on our COVID safe strategy for Run2Cure Domain. We have made many changes to how our event will run and you can find the details here.

However, no matter what precautions we take - not everyone can or should join us in Sydney this year. As a children’s cancer charity, we want our community to be safe, which means taking advice from your medical advisors,especially if you are vulnerable (link to gov site) which may mean avoiding large gatherings like Run2Cure Domain.

With this in mind, we have created Run2Cure Local. This year, wherever you are, you can take part in Run2Cure! Join in, dress up, have fun and help find better treatments for children facing the children’s cancer neuroblastoma over the weekend of 5 September. Registration includes your own personalised bib and more! To find out more and register, visit our Run2Cure Local area.

Should the event not be able to proceed for any reason, every participant will receive: a free transferable entry into Run2Cure at the Domain next year and a free entry into our first ever virtual event, Run2Cure Local this year.

You do not have to fundraise – however it makes a huge difference to the amount we can then invest into leading research. Funds raised from event tickets mainly cover the cost of putting on the event. When you finish registering and buying your tickets you will automatically be provided with a fundraising page by Go Fundraise with instructions as to how to set it up. Please email us at info@run2cure.org.au if you have any queries.

We would appreciate your support in helping to raise funds for neuroblastoma and there are some fantastic prizes for fundraising amounts, starting at just $50.

When you register for a Run2Cure event you will automatically be provided a fundraising page by Go Fundraise. You will then be able to share this page with all your friends and family provided you are aged 18 years and over. If you did not register yourself, you will be emailed a fundraising page link and you can set up your page this way – you can also create fundraising teams which can be the same or different to your running teams.

If you get stuck you can always email us at info@run2cure.org.au

There are some great prizes for fundraising and profits will go towards leading research programs into neuroblastoma.
