5K SCADaddle for Research: Melbourne
Event location
Description
Join us on Sunday, 26 October 2025, at Melbourne's scenic Yarra Bend Park (venue to be confirmed) for the 5K SCADaddle for Research, a 5km run or walk dedicated to raising awareness and vital funds for research into Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD).
Whether you choose to walk, jog, or run, this event is a wonderful opportunity to support a crucial cause while enjoying a beautiful morning with family and friends.
SCAD is a rare and serious heart condition caused by a tear in one of the coronary arteries, often leading to a heart attack or sudden death. It primarily affects women (around 80% of cases), typically around the age of 42, and occurs in individuals without the usual risk factors for heart disease.
Your participation helps fund essential research aimed at understanding and ultimately solving the mystery of SCAD.
