About this event
Join Run for the Firies 2026, a virtual charity run supporting the Research and Kangaroo Ground Volunteer Fire Brigades. This primary fundraising initiative supports two vital volunteer-run organisations that play a critical role in protecting the communities of Melbourne's outer north-eastern suburbs.
Participation is simple and flexible. You can complete your distance anytime throughout the month of October, whether running, walking, or cycling. Once finished, simply send us a screenshot of your achievement or tag us on Strava to be part of the event. This virtual option makes it easy to participate if you can't make the in-person event.
The funds raised through this annual event directly contribute to enhancing emergency response capabilities, improving fire safety education, and maintaining the high standard of service that local residents depend on. The Research and Kangaroo Ground Volunteer Fire Brigades rely heavily on community support and fundraising to maintain their operations and purchase essential firefighting equipment.
By participating in Run for the Firies, community members promote both personal health and fitness while making a meaningful impact on local emergency services and the safety of their community. Join thousands of Australians supporting vital community organisations.
