The Domain Run

The start of the fun runs is in the Domain next to Art Gallery Way in the centre of Sydney. It is easily accessible by public transport.

We would encourage you to use private transport on this occasion. There is a Wilsons car park at the Domain which will be open. Book ahead.

5KM - 9.40am
3KM - 9.50am

Yes. All finishers will receive a medal in the 1k dash, 3k, 5k, 10k and half marathon.

Wheelchairs are welcome to participate in the 3km, 5km, 10km and half marathon fun runs, however please review the route first and be aware that there are a few steep inclines along the course.

Prams are very welcome in the 1k Little Heroes event – we would love the whole family to participate in the 1k.

Prams can take part in the 3k, 5k and 10k however, if you are running with a pram please start at the back of the run.

We worked with the Australian Government on our COVID safe strategy for Run2Cure Domain. We have made many changes to how our event will run and you can find the details here.

However, no matter what precautions we take - not everyone can or should join us in Sydney this year. As a children’s cancer charity, we want our community to be safe, which means taking advice from your medical advisors,especially if you are vulnerable (link to gov site) which may mean avoiding large gatherings like Run2Cure Domain.

With this in mind, we have our virtual option, Run2Cure Local. Wherever you are, you can take part in Run2Cure! Join in, dress up, have fun and help find better treatments for children facing the children’s cancer neuroblastoma over the month of September. To find out more visit our Run2Cure Local area.

Should the event not be able to proceed for any reason, every participant will receive: a free transferable entry into Run2Cure at the Domain 2022 plus a free entry into our virtual event, Run2Cure Local, being held throughout the month of September.

You can still choose to run, walk or jog from the same distances as our annual fun run in the Domain (1k, 3k, 5k, 10k or Half Marathon), HOWEVER you get to choose anytime between 1 September through 30 September, anywhere you are in the world.

Yes, you can read and agree to our waiver here.

We will be able to take online registrations on the day. You will need to register online before your race and visit our Racing Bib pick up area to collect your bib at least 60 minutes before your race is due to begin.

Yes. Upon registration, you can select your race bib to be mailed out to you for a charge of $6 per bib.

If collecting your race bib in person, you will be able to do so from the CBD during the week prior to the event. Location and hours TBD.

If necessary, you can also collect your race bib on race day, 1 hour prior to your event start time.

We are unfortunately not in a position to provide full refunds or refunds for any difference paid. But, we can offer you:

* a free transfer entry to our virtual event Run2Cure Local 2021.

Please email us at info@nb.org.au to arrange.

We are unable to offer refunds or partial refunds for Run2Cure if you are no longer able to participate.

We are able to offer a free entry into Run2Cure Local if you would wish. Please contact info@nb.org.au to arrange.

*We do offer a full refund for medical reasons and ask you to supply your medical certificate when you contact us. As you can imagine, as a small charity the cost of organising Run2Cure is significant and most expenditure is paid well in advance of an event taking place. Medical certificates must be submitted by 20th August 2021 for you to be eligible for a refund.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

We would prefer adults to register themselves but if this is not possible you can register other adults and of course children – provided you are their parent or legal guardian.

As the person registering other people, please note that you will be also signing and agreeing to the terms and conditions of Run2Cure on their behalf and you should advise them accordingly. All children 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult at the event.

All children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult in the actual runs : 1km, 3km, 5km and 10km. The exceptions are if the child is taking part in the 3km or 5km as part of a school team (there should still be 2 to 3 accompanying adults for the team) or is taking part in the 1k Dash where the parents can monitor their children from the sidelines if preferred.

We offer prizes in recognition of the work involved with fundraising however we understand that some of our generous supporters would prefer not to receive these prizes.

This year we will offer everyone the choice, so if you want, you can choose to donate what you've earned back to the charity to help with future fundraisers. Just email us on info@run2cure.org.au if you would prefer not to receive a prize.

More information on fundraising milestones can be found here.

Our aim is for approximately 80% of the funds raised through Run2Cure Local to go towards research projects into kinder, better and more effective treatments for the children's cancer neuroblastoma.

The remaining funds go towards running the virtual event and the charity Neuroblastoma Australia. Our annual report is available here if you'd like more information about where funding goes.
