The Mother’s Day Classic is an annual fun run and walk raising funds and awareness for breast cancer research. It is held in up to 90 locations around Australia on Mother’s Day with up to 100,000 participants annually. Our aim is to deliver a fun, healthy and inspirational community event that brings the community together on Mother’s Day to support and honour those touched by breast cancer. In the event's 25 year history over 1.5 million participants have taken part across Australia and we have donated $41.5m to the National Breast Cancer Foundation to fund game-changing breast cancer research.
