events in Brisbane, Queensland

Run For It emerged in late 2020 when Cam Marsh gathered 200 Brisbane runners around a single conviction: service above self. Every Sunday at 7 AM, they explore shifting neighborhoods across the city, raising funds and awareness for lesser-known local charities that rarely capture public attention. No membership fees. Instead, participants donate what they can afford, making charitable running accessible to everyone. The crew welcomes all abilities with easy, moderate, and fast pace groups, creating space for parents pushing strollers, university students, LGBTQ+ runners, and competitive athletes to move together. Post-run coffee and conversation deepen friendships forged through shared purpose. What began as a pandemic-era impulse to reconnect and contribute has become a Brisbane institution proving that athletic pursuits gain meaning when connected to something larger than personal achievement.
