ACTV's Run For Resilience 3.0

ACTV Run For Resilience 3.0 

Gold Coast, QLD — Saturday, 7 June 2025
Geelong, VIC — Saturday, 21 June 2025

The ACTV Run For Resilience is back for its third year — and 2025 is set to be bigger and better than ever with events in two iconic locations: the Gold Coast and Geelong.

This annual charity run is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for mental health. Founded by Paris Lightfoot in memory of her father, who died by suicide in December 2022, what started as a personal tribute has become a powerful, community-driven movement to break the stigma and support mental wellness through physical activity.

This year, we’re proud to support Movember, the leading charity changing the face of men’s health.

Choose Your Challenge

Whether you're running your first 5km or pushing for a new PB, pick the distance that challenges you:

• 🏃‍♂️ 22km

• 🏃‍♀️ 12km

• 🏃 5km

Our run isn’t about racing — it’s about resilience. Each distance is designed to push you outside your comfort zone. If you normally run 10km, why not try for 12? You might surprise yourself.

You’ll be supported every step of the way by a passionate, like-minded community.

Why We Run

The Run For Resilience is more than just another run. It symbolises pushing through the hard moments, doing something bigger than yourself, and standing together in support of those battling mental health challenges.

• In 2023, 150 runners raised $5.5k on the Gold Coast

• In 2024, 250 runners raised $12k on the Gold Coast

• In 2025, we're taking it to the next level — two cities, more runners, and an even greater impact for Movember globally
