Connor's Run

On Sunday the 11th of September, the Robert Connor Dawes (RCD) Foundation will hold its tenth annual Connor’s Run along Melbourne’s foreshore.

There are two distances of this run. The longer run is 18.8km starting at 8am at the Ferdindando Gardens in Hampton. The smaller run is 9.6km and commences at 9:30am at the Catani Gardens St Kilda.

Connor’s Run has become the largest fundraising event in Australia. The annual run is more than a fun run, it is the celebration and commemoration of Robert Connor Dawes, who tragically lost his life to brain cancer.

Connor’s Run is the main fundraising event for the RCD Foundation, which supports brain projects in the areas of research, care and development – to fund the science to end brain cancer and support patients in the meantime.
