Gold Coast Mother's Day Classic
The Gold Coast event involves an 8km and 4km walk and run. If you are interested in taking part in the run or walk then please register here and check out the closing dates for registration below. You can also raise money for breast cancer research by taking part in fundraising - it's fun and easy to do! Set up a fundraising page here.
If running and walking isn't your thing you can still join in the fun of the day by volunteering to help out. Please volunteer here.
Alternatively you can come along and support all walkers and runners and join in the entertainment and activity taking place around the course. All participants are in the running for spot prizes, given out around the course on the day.
Don't forget to fill in a tribute card to wear on the day, dedicating your participation to someone you have lost to breast cancer or who is fighting the disease. You can download one and create it yourself, please click here.
