Red Ribbon Run 2026

Join us for the return of the Red Ribbon Run — a community-powered, non-competitive event for all ages and abilities. Whether you're jogging 5km or walking the full 10km, every stride helps raise vital funds for Thorne Harbour Health and awareness for people living with HIV. This is more than a run — it’s a celebration of resilience, solidarity, and the strength of our community.

After the run, stick around for food trucks, community info stalls, and inspiring speeches from local legends. It’s a family-friendly day filled with joy, purpose, and connection — no race bibs required.

Registration is open for runners, walkers, and volunteers alike. Early birds save — lock in your spot before September 7. Concessions and free entry for people living with HIV and First Nations community members. Got questions? Email worldaidsday@thorneharbour.org.

Want to be part of the action behind the scenes? Organisations can sponsor the event or reserve a free community stall. This is your chance to show support and be visible in one of Melbourne’s most meaningful community gatherings of the year.

Bring your sneakers, your spirit, and your friends — because every step counts.
