WHAT IS RUN IN THE DARK?

As darkness sweeps around the globe each November, 25,000 people in 50 cities worldwide hit the streets to Run in the Dark.

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

Together, they run 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.
