Running in a group provides that feeling of being a part of a community and a great way to boost our mood and improve our self-confidence. Whether you are an experienced runner or someone who is just starting out on your journey to running, the de Castella run club welcomes you with open arms!

OUR CHARITIES

Since 2003, One in Five have raised over $2 million dollars with 90% of all funds raised going directly to either Monash Health or the Florey Institute.
The Indigenous Marathon Foundation was established in 2009 by world marathon champion, Rob de Castella. In 2010 four Indigenous Australians created history by being the first to run in the world’s biggest marathon. The New York City Marathon.
Running and physical activity underpin all IMF programs. IMF are committed to providing social, inclusive and fun environment for people to adopt healthy and active lifestyles.

Acknowledgement to Country
The de Castella Run acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional custodians of this country and acknowledges their connection to culture, land and community. Our event is on the traditional Country of Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung peoples of the Kulin nation.
