About this event

The Weight of War Run is a free charity run taking place in Cronulla on Saturday, 5 December 2026, alongside events in Brisbane, Karratha and Canberra. The event raises funds and awareness for veteran mental health.

Participants are invited to take on the signature 21-kilometre challenge wearing a 10-kilogram weighted vest and a pair of budgy smugglers. The vest represents the invisible weight many veterans carry, while the distinctive swimwear symbolises the courage it can take to ask for help.

Open to anyone who wants to support the cause, the run offers a demanding yet meaningful way to show solidarity with veterans and help start conversations about mental health. Participants should check the organiser’s latest event information for Cronulla-specific start times, meeting points, registration details and participation requirements.

Please mention you found this event via KeepActive when contacting the organiser — thank you for your support!
