Nightcliff Middle School Run Beyond Project students achieve their goal

by

Eight Weeks ago, Nightcliff Middle School set a challenge for a small group of students to complete the only Run Beyond Project in the NT. On the weekend I am proud to announce that 4 of our students crossed the line for their goal event. Huge congratulations from Nightcliff Middle School and the entire Run Beyond Community goes to Keenan, John, Patrick and Shannon for finishing their goal race- the iconic NT City 2 Surf Mini surfer run. A huge shout out to NT City 2 Surf team for helping these students get to start line and the wonderful volunteers and Nightcliff supporters that motivated our students to get to the finish line. Our 4 NMS finishers displayed the Run Beyond Project values of commitment and resilience to get to the finish line with a sense of success and pride in their achievements. Each of them has a uniquely wonderful lead up story to the event and now all share an amazing experience. The Nightcliff Middle School staff who were involved in the Run Beyond Project are so proud of their achievements and grateful to be part of such a wonderful national program that is positively influencing the lives of so many. We look forward to Saturday the 22nd of June for our final goal race of the program at Nightcliff Middle School to build our graduate class of 2024. Garry Salt, Cohort Teacher

Twenty-four teams managed to complete Beyond Borders Virtual Run by covering the 876 kilometres in the 3 week period, with The Mile(age) High Club covering an amazing 3,332km, Goats covering 2,774km and KEO 9 Sole Mates covering 2,245km. Congratulations to The Mile(age) High Club who not only covered the greatest distance, but were also first across the line, winning each of their team members a $600 voucher from our great supporter, On

On the fundraising front, it was an amazing year with support coming in for runners undertaking marathons around the world and culminating in Rhodes Runners undertaking a special challenge on the final day – a Parramatta to Sydney Opera House run!

In total, more than $55,000 was raised over the three weeks…that equates to around 5 new schools being able to join Run Beyond next year!

A special thanks goes out to all of our teams including our long time, and year round, supporters Rhodes Runners, Sydney Striders, and On Running and, for the first time in 2024, KEO International Consultants, who fielded an incredible 13 teams with 130 participants and donated an amazing $25,000!

Overall it was a fantastic effort by all teams and individuals and an effort that will see us able to bring the Project to many more schools in 2025!

Of course, none of this would be possible without the help of our supporters, On RunningKnightswood House, Sydney Striders, Second SkinThree Bridges Run and Ultra Series Australia.
