WHAT IS RUN IN THE DARK?

As darkness swept around the globe at 8pm local time on Wednesday 13 November 2024, 25,000 people in 50 cities worldwide hit the streets to Run in the Dark.

From Sydney to San Francisco, this global movement lit up the night as they ran 5k or 10k in support of the Mark Pollock Trust.

Together, they ran for those who dream to walk by fundraising for our charity partner, Collaborative Cures, whose mission is to bring people together to cure paralysis in our lifetime.
