We create running experiences and stories that inspire — and change lives.

We are a community-led movement creating life-changing running experiences. From local trail run clubs to our flagship 250km charity ultramarathon, we bring people together to push their limits — physically, mentally, and emotionally — while raising vital funds for causes that matter.

At our core, we believe in Purpose Beyond Yourself™, and in the power of doing good while doing something extraordinary.

Event Testimonials

  • I’m still struggling to put it into words. it’s definitely a lot more than running 250km. I’ve not felt anything like the feeling I had crossing the finish line, or when the final runner crossed the line. I saw someone on Instagram say “we arrived as strangers and left as a family” and that sums it up pretty well.

  • Why We Run is not an escape, but a more beautiful version of reality. It raises spirit, hope and belief. It is a safe place for everyone and anyone, to be exactly who they want to be.

  • So much more than just an ultramarathon. A community event with a common goal. An experience that teaches you so much about yourself, others, and life. An event that will change you for the better.

  • Made me fall in love with running again and helped me remember/discover my reasons why

  • Why We Run is a powerful, immersive experience beyond running. Running is just the foundation of similar interest for everyone who takes part, the rest is built on openness and vulnerability. An experience for personal growth both mentally and physically.

  • Strangely, the best holiday I've ever had. Come back feeling like I'm in the best mental state I've ever been in.
