The past year has been one of consolidation and success for The Run Beyond Project, with 6 new schools joining the program, including our first interstate school in Bundaberg and our first regional school in Nambucca Heads. With new teacher training programs implemented and new partnerships secured, we are now looking forward to welcoming new school, to reach our target of 20 active schools by 2020. Read all about the past year, and our goals for the future, in our Annual Report here.

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.
