The Run 4 Resilience – Mangoplah 2025 is back and it’s bigger, better, and bolder than ever! Held in the heart of spring, this all-ages, all-abilities event is your chance to move your body, connect with your community, and soak up the stunning farmland scenery along our 5km, 10km or 21km cross country-style tracks.

Whether you’re walking with a pram, jogging with mates, or racing to smash a PB – this day is for everyone. It’s not just about running – it’s about resilience, fun, and coming together.

👟 300+ locals are expected – will you be one of them?

Plus, this year your involvement goes even further! Our sponsorship opportunity now includes support for the weekly Active Farmers classes in Mangoplah, Book Book and Ladysmith. That means 12 months of promotion for sponsors, while helping keep rural communities active and connected all year round.
