You brought the energy, we brought the FUN, and together we made something pretty special happen! More than 5,300 people took part in our 14th Connor's Run, raising an incredible $1.7 million and showing once again what our big-hearted community can achieve.
These funds will turn possibility into progress, supporting paediatric brain cancer research, care and development projects that improve outcomes for young people with brain cancer. Thanks for being a BIG part of it!
Ready to do it all again? Our 15th Connor's Run is coming in 2027, with registrations opening in late April. Register your interest below and be among the first to hear when registrations open!
