Tasmania runs for Palestine
In this critical moment, the call to stand in solidarity with Palestine is louder and more urgent than ever. We warmly invite you, your family, and friends to join us in this meaningful cause by registering for Run for Palestine (RfP). This event not only advocates for justice but also raises essential funds to support the innocent children of Palestine who are deeply affected by the ongoing conflict.
For these children, hunger is a daily reality, and their education has been stunted by the devastation of war. Yet, despite the hardship, they still find a way to smile. Their resilience is inspiring, but they cannot do it alone—they need your help. Your participation in this event supports the incredible work of Olive Kids, an Australian charity dedicated to improving the lives of children in Palestine.
Registration Options:
- $20 – waged
- $10 – unwaged / concession
Join us for a peaceful 4.5 km walk or a gentle 9 km jog/run along the beautiful Salamanca foreshore. Route maps will be provided upon registration.
We encourage you to invite your family and friends to sponsor your walk or run — every contribution helps us maximise our fundraising impact!
After the run, we will gather in front of Princes Wharf 1, where you can enjoy refreshments, live music, and the opportunity to connect with fellow supporters and the wider Tasmanian community.
Together, we can make a profound difference. Join us in showing the world the compassion of the Tasmanian community.
WHERE: Salamanca foreshore, start and finish front of Princes Wharf 1, 30 Morrison St.
WHEN: 29th November, from 10.30am to 1.00pm.
WHAT: A fun run or walk to raise awareness and funds for the situation in Palestine.
