Run by Youth, for Youth!
Run for the Young is a local community event, hosted by Bridge Builders Youth Charity. 100% of the proceeds goes toward supporting youth programs!
Plastic free drink stations
At Run for the Young, we really care about the environment. The majority of our course is on the beautiful and serene Warburton Trail, and we’d like your help to keep it that way. As part of our commitment to becoming a plastic free event, our event will not have any plastic cups at our drinks stations. Water and Tailwind will be available in drums with push button access, and you will be encouraged to BYO your reusable cup or purchase one of our collapsible cups. Thank you all for your assistance in keeping our natural trails the way they should be, natural.
