What is Run for Reason?
SCR's Run for a Reason
is a month-long virtual challenge event that helps raise funds for a
local charity and Sapphire Coast Runners Inc.
The virtual
challenge event sees participants setting a personal goal to run or walk
a set number of kilometres (e.g. 10km, 21.1km, 42.2km, 50km, 100km,
150km, 200km), that they may complete all in one go, or throughout the
nominated challenge month being 1st to 31st March.
Participants
can walk, use the treadmill, run outside or participate in another
race, completing their nominated kilometeres when and wherever they
like.
Where do the proceeds go?
In 2016 $10 of every Run for a Reason registration will be donated to REAP Sapphire Coast.
REAP
Sapphire Coast collects excess food from local food providers and
distributes that food to not-for-profit organisations. Food goes into
community cafes, food hampers or is available from charities and helping
agencies for those in need.

The

running events and initiatives that assist in encouraging health and
wellbeing in our communities through the sport of running.
