This year, the Mother’s Day Classic is going local! Mother’s Day Classic Local combines the flexibility of a virtual fun-run or walk with the community atmosphere seen at physical Mother’s Day Classic events.
How it works
1. Register yourself or your team
This year you’ll receive a race pack full of goodies, access to our online content and the opportunity to be a part of the incredible MDC community.
2. Set yourself a goal
When you register, set a goal for Mother’s Day Classic Local. You can train for 5km, 10km, 20km or choose your own distance. Walk, jog or run, it’s completely up to you!
3. Join the training period
Join our official training period starting on April 7th. You’ll have access to the online portal to track your kilometres, fundraise and enjoy content such as fitness videos and even a kids’ zone.
4. Check out our Local locations
We’ll be inviting all registered participants to walk or run, at no additional cost, at various Local locations across Australia. Click here to find your nearest location and book your spot!
5. Get your race pack
All participants will receive the ultimate Mother’s Day Classic race pack (valued at $30) including a medallion, race bib, backpack, start/finish line ribbon and sponsor goodies. Adults will also receive a limited edition head scarf and our special kids’ race pack includes chalk and stencils. Our furry friends can get a pet bandana, so that every member of the family can join in on the fun!
6. Celebrate Mother's Day
On Mother’s Day, set out to achieve your goal in your own time and place or at one of our local locations. Honour those touched by breast cancer and remember that you’re making a significant impact by getting active for life-saving breast cancer research.
