In this year's Melbourne Marathon,
we AIM to raise $250,000 with 1,000 runners!


For 11 years the ASRC has been fighting for the human rights of asylum seekers.

Over 7000 people have been provided with sanctuary, support and hope by the ASRC in this time and thousands of people have won their freedom through our work.

As we enter our 12th year of operation, we find ourselves in the toughest of times, the demand for help at an all time high and the opportunity to demonstrate the efficacy and humanity of our model of asylum seeker support.

Your participation will make a real difference. You can be part of providing hope from persecution by Running for Refugees as part of the Melbourne Marathon this October.		  


  Last year our 200 strong team raised a record $490 per runner. This year we are aiming to raise $250,000 by attracting even more runners and starting our fundraising NOW.   Step 1. Start fundraising
Step 2. Register with the Melbourne Marathon
