I WILL...
make brains matter
Can't make it to our Melbourne event this September, no worries! We invite you to embrace Connor's Run Your Way Any Day with your own I WILL affirmation - just like Connor did during his yoga therapy class. His was 'I WILL be Awesome' - yours can be anything.
Take on a challenge of any kind: run, walk, roll, hop, skip, jump or dance. Or take on our 120,000 Step Challenge below.
120k steps challenge
step up to win
Step up for brain cancer for a chance to WIN.

CREATURE OF HABIT
You might like to stick to the traditional distances of 18.8km or 9.6km from the bay to the boatsheds, or a 3km Little Bird Loop- or discover a completely new path. Be sure to check out our our Connor's Run training club on Strava and join the fun!
HOMEBODY
Make an impact without leaving the house! Complete a workout challenge in the comfort of your own home.
FEEL GOOD WHILE DOING GOOD!
Celebrate your brain with a mindfulness challenge! Practice daily meditation, yoga, or take on a new creative hobby like knitting or painting.
FIND YOUR MAGIC NUMBER
Set yourself a month-long challenge! Step 1: Choose your activity (run, walk, read, push-up). Step 2: Set your time/distance/reps. For example: Walk 10,000 steps per day, cycle 9.6km each week, read 1 book per week, climb 18 flights per day. The choice is yours!
