The 13th Annual Byron Bay Lighthouse Run is set for Sunday October 20 and will be raising money to support headspace Lismore and the Women’s Resource Service at Mullumbimby and Districts Neighbourhood Centre.
Up to 1000 competitors are expected to take on the 10km run, 6km walk or 1km dash for the kids.
Lisa Parkes started the event in 2006 and it was recognised with an Australia Day Award for Best Event in the Byron Shire in 2016.
‘I am very proud to be able to donate 100% of the profits [from the event]. This is only possible through the generous support of local sponsors and businesses and the great work by our committee and team of volunteers,’ she said.
Head to Byron Bay Lighthouse Run to register, and get in touch if you’d like to volunteer at the event!
