Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) is proud to announce that registration for our popular “60km in May” challenge is now open. It’s a nationwide fitness and fundraising event that invites participants to commit to covering 60 kilometers throughout May while raising vital funds for breakthrough cancer research.
The concept is simple:
– Register online at fundraise.acrf.com.au/event/60km-in-may– Set your personal fundraising goal– Cover 60km your way – walk, run, jog, or combine activities throughout May– Share your journey with friends and family to encourage donations
Participants can tackle the challenge solo or form teams with friends, family, or colleagues. The flexible format allows you to complete your kilometers at your own pace, whether that means 2km daily or longer weekend sessions.
The distance represents the journey of resilience that people impacted by cancer face. By pushing yourself to reach 60km, you’re showing solidarity with those affected by cancer while directly contributing to research that saves lives.
Every dollar raised through the 60km in May challenge will help fund innovative cancer research projects across Australia. ACRF provides grants for cutting-edge equipment and technologies that enable researchers to accelerate discoveries and develop new treatments.
This year, with your support, we aim to raise $300,000 to help fund lifesaving research projects nationwide.
Anyone can join the challenge, regardless of fitness level or age. The event is designed to be inclusive and accessible:
– Fitness enthusiasts can push their limits– Beginners can break the distance into manageable daily walks– Families can participate together, making it a meaningful activity for children– Workplace teams can use it as a team-building opportunity while supporting a vital cause
