Event Overview
Run4Ben 2026 is a community-driven fun run dedicated to raising awareness and support for organ donation. Inspired by the spirit of generosity and the importance of giving the gift of life, this event brings together individuals, families, and supporters to honour lives changed and saved through donation.
Participants of all fitness levels are encouraged to take part—whether running, jogging, or walking—making it an inclusive and uplifting day focused on connection, remembrance, and hope. The event serves as both a celebration of life and a meaningful opportunity to promote conversations around organ donation within the community.
Funds raised from Run4Ben 2026 will be donated to the Royal Melbourne Children's Hospital to support initiatives that increase awareness, encourage donor registration, and assist families impacted by organ donation. Proudly aligned with the values of DonateLife, the event also recognises donors, recipients, and their families, highlighting the life-changing impact of organ donation.
With commemorative event shirts, community engagement activities, and a supportive atmosphere, Run4Ben 2026 aims to inspire participants to not only take part on the day but also become ongoing advocates for donation.
Together, we run to share the gift of life.
