Community matters
Every time we gather, we’re showing the world how many people are committed to saving lives from suicide, and our belief in resilience. We know that everyone faces challenges, and although people may appear composed, many are dealing with hidden struggles. And most importantly, we’re signalling to someone doing it tough that there's a community aware of their pain and hasn’t lost faith in their ability to recover.
Our story
Suggested Routes
Whether you walk or run, we aim for 20 - 30 minutes of exercise. Then we’ll meet back at the starting point for a drink and chat.
Safety
As our community grows, it is important that we continue to ensure the safety of ourselves and those using around us.
Please bring a headlamp or flashlight during the winter months as some sections of the course are very dark.
Keep left, ensuring that there is a clear path for people and cyclists heading in the position direction.

We welcome dogs to our Running for Resilience events. If you are going to be running with a dog you must ensure it is under your full control on a short lead at all times. Your dog must remain with you at all times and cannot be left alone along the course or at the start line.
Our community is ever evolving. We are committed to learning and adapting to ensure that our events remain as safe as possible. If you have a safety concern or idea about how we can make Running for Resilience safer, please let us know.
