Australia Day is a day for all Australians no matter where our personal stories begin. It’s a day to reflect on what it means to be Australian, to celebrate contemporary Australia and to acknowledge our history.

Held in the morning of Australia Day 26 January at the Darwin Waterfront, OZ RUN is the Territory’s largest FREE running event. We encourage everyone to celebrate our national day by dressing up and embracing the spirit of Australia.
