WALK OR RUN TO SUPPORT SICK KIDS!
In 2023 over 200 people came together and raced for sick kids, starting at Metcalfe Park in Pyrmont, experiencing stunning views of Sydney Harbour and iconic landmarks.
Over 780 families depend on Ronald McDonald House in Randwick every year, we provide a warm and welcoming place to stay in a supportive and understanding environment.
But, did you know it costs an average of $160 a night to support a sick child and their family at the House?
Be part of Sydney’s ONLY harbourside race for the kids! Run, jog, stroll, push a pram or walk your dog and help provide sick kids and their families with a safe place to call home as they face the most difficult time of their lives.
