Beyond Barriers
Virtual Run

The Beyond Barriers Virtual Run (Dec 2-22) - Go Beyond to break down barriers and empower young people facing challenges!

In 2023 Beyond Barriers Virtual Run will cover 800 kilometres, stretching from Parramatta, the location of one of our major supporters and Goal Race for many of our students - the Three Bridges Run, to Coolangatta, the location of another major supporter and Goal Race for students in 2023 - the GC50 Run Festival!  The funds generated from the run, with your support, will help the Run Beyond Project to continue to provide a framework which teachers can use to connect with and empower young people beyond the finish line. 

The Run Beyond Project empowers students by asking them to go beyond their comfort zone. Our students aren't runners. They're high school students from a variety of circumstances who commit to undertaking our program in order to develop personal and social capabilities that see them not only get to the finish line of their Goal Race, but thrive beyond this, personally and as contributing members to their communities.

We have graduated over 320 students through our program so far, including 64 indigenous students, 41 students from refugee backgrounds, and 12 who have been in out-of-home care, as well as students impacted by numerous other factors such as exposure to discrimination and long-term parental unemployment.
