Run for the Young Marathon
Run for the Young is the 13th annual community running event held on Sunday 29th November 2026. The event is organised by Bridge Builders Youth Charity and directs 100% of proceeds to youth programs. The start line is at Mount Lilydale Mercy College and much of the course follows the Warburton Trail.
The event offers multiple race distances to suit a range of participants:
- 42.2 km Marathon
- 21.1 km Half marathon
- 10 km Run
- 5 km Run
- 2.5 km Kids Run
The organisers operate plastic free drink stations: water and Tailwind are provided from drums with push-button access, and participants are encouraged to use reusable or collapsible cups. Collapsible cups are available for purchase. The event records for each distance are listed by the organisers and reflect previous performance benchmarks for the course.
Run for the Young describes itself as run by youth, for youth, and positions the event as a local community occasion that includes opportunities for families to attend and participate. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
