JOIN US FOR THE

The Hallora Marathon began as a marathon in 2015.

The event was started by Daniel (event president) as a perfect opportunity for him to raise money for Peter Mac, as he saw this cause to be important, as it was very close to his heart.

The event was inspired by one of Daniel’s friend’s, Sarah Porter, who was diagnosed with Leukaemia. She spent a long time at Peter Mac during her recovery.

Daniel’s Pa was also diagnosed with the disease, and passed away, after suffering prostate cancer.

Following this, the drive to bring the Hallora Marathon Festival to the community each year since has been inspired by these stories, and the stories of so many others.

We want to be able to raise money to allow people like Sarah and Daniel’s Pa the optimal treatment, to go on and live fulfilling lives.

Our 24km and 42km events begin at Hallora Recreation Reserve.

The community buzz of all the spectators really assists in getting everyone over the finish line.
