Welcome to the HBF Run for a Reason

altEveryone has a reason.  It might be to get fit.  It might be to lose weight. Or it might be to raise money for one of WA’s leading charities fighting chronic disease.



The HBF Run for a Reason is your chance to get active and walk, run, jog or stroll your way around the Perth CBD.  Held on 23 May 2010, you can choose between the Act-Belong-Commit 14km course incorporating 3 freeways and a notable passage through the Northbridge Tunnel, or the shorter Act-Belong-Commit 4.5km course winding around Gloucester Park through East Perth.  Both events start and finish at the iconic WACA ground.

So what's your reason?

 

Our charities - another six reasons!

altYou also have the opportunity to fundraise for one of six charities who are fighting chronic disease - which together with injuries account for 80% of all deaths in Australia. 

We're aiming to raise over $200,000 to assist with their vital work. Help us reach this target by setting up a fundraising page to collect donations for your favourite charity.

Choose your cause and be part of something special.
