Track. Community. Purpose.

19th September 2026 | Gold Coast Performance Centre

The Starting Line is a community track event bringing people together through movement while raising funds for Movember and men's mental health.

Created as part of my journey to the 2026 New York City Marathon with Team Movember, this event is about more than running. It's about creating opportunities for connection, encouraging conversations that don't happen often enough, and using movement as a force for positive impact.

Whether you're a runner, a weekend warrior, or simply looking for a fun morning with friends, there is a place for you on the start line.

Think school athletics carnival but for adults...
