Beyond Barriers
Virtual Run

The Beyond Barriers Virtual Run (22 September to 13 October 2024) - Go Beyond to break down barriers and empower young people facing challenges!

In 2024 Beyond Barriers Virtual Run will cover 876 kilometres, starting in conjuction with one of our Goal Races - Run Prix at Albert Park Victoria and finishing in conjuction with another Goal Race - 3 Bridges Run in Parramatta! 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 395 students through our program so far, including 88 indigenous students, 47 students from refugee backgrounds, and 18 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.
