This year has seen Run Beyond’s most successful Virtual Run with 315 participants from 38 teams covering 876 kilometres, starting in conjunction with one of our Goal Races – Run Prix at Albert Park Victoria and finishing in conjunction with another Goal Race – 3 Bridges Run in Parramatta!
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 Running, Knightswood House, Sydney Striders, Second Skin, Three Bridges Run and Ultra Series Australia.
