Bravehearts’ White Balloon Day is Australia’s largest and longest running campaign dedicated to preventing child sexual assault.
Held annually during National Child Protection Week, on the first Friday of September, White Balloon Day unites communities to make a commitment to protecting kids.
This will be the 5th running of the White Balloon Day Coastal marathon event proudly supporting BRAVEHEARTS.
The event is not held on the weekend but on the Friday as this is the actual White Balloon Day national campaign day.
This event consists of a double marathon challenge all in one day.
A midnight marathon followed by a 6:00am marathon. You can choose to run 1 or both marathons (in any order). If you choose to run more than one marathon then you must be ready to start the next event on time. The cut-offs would be 6 hours for the first marathon and a relaxed 8 hours for the second marathon. Headlamps or torches are needed for the midnight marathon and possibly the first 45 mins of the 6:00am marathon.
There is also a 5km, 10km, 15km, 21.1km & 30km distance with both midnight & 6:00am starts.
You receive a medal for each distance completed at each start time.
Theme for this event is WHITE with trophies awarded.
It will be held along the coastline starting from the Semaphore South foreshore on Friday September 4th 2020 (White Balloon Day) starting at midnight Thurs night.
All runners and walkers are welcome.

Preventing child sexual assault is the BIGGEST CHILD PROTECTION CHALLENGE we are facing in Australia today.
Every two hours in Australia, a child is sexually harmed in some way. It could be a child in your life, or someone you know. It doesn’t discriminate.
You are invited to take up the challenge by getting involved in White Balloon Day on Friday 4th September 2020.
This event is proudly supporting BRAVEHEARTS with part proceeds being donated.
To ensure this remains as a fun low cost, low key successful community running event we will need to rely on the assistance of volunteers. Please notify if you can help out on the day.
