ADRA's Race Around Australia is a distance-challenge event completed throughout the month of September to launch the ADRA Appeal and raise vital funds for Aussies in need.

You can choose to walk, run, or participate in one of the numerous events organised around Australia. 

No one should have to choose between food and medication. Your support can help ease the burden of the high cost of living by providing Aussies like Evie with food, essential items, and a sense of connection. 

What an incredible reason to get active this September!

All funds raised by participants will support the life-changing work of ADRA in Australia. Your support can help provide food, essential items, and connection, helping Australians to get through some of their toughest moments.
