About KMs of Compassion and Run 4 Refugees
Run 4 Refugees is the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre’s (ASRC) beloved community fundraising event. For over 12 years the ASRC's community of compassion has run and walked together as 'Team ASRC' at events throughout the country.
If you relish the buzz of a big event, Team ASRC will return to the Melbourne Marathon Festival and Bridge to Brisbane this year, however if you prefer to exercise in your favourite location with a small group of friends, or perhaps you want to cycle or swim instead of run, we invite you to sign up for our new event, Kilometres of Compassion. There is plenty of choice for everyone.
One day, your way. Kilometres of Compassion can be what you want it to be. Set your own physical challenge to complete on Sunday 21st November, go it alone or with your household (within covid restrictions) and raise funds to provide urgent support to refugees and people seeking asylum. Everyone who signs up receives their own Run 4 Refugees t-shirt so as you clock up your KMs on November 21st, keep an eye out for your fellow Team ASRC members in your neighbourhood. Join our community of compassion for free today.

Prefer a large group event?
Kilometres of Compassion is a personal challenge which you can do alone or with a small group of friends and family on 21st November. But if you prefer the buzz of a big public event instead, you can complete your kilometres as part of Team ASRC at Bridge to Brisbane (7th November), Melbourne Marathon (11-12th December) or another public event in your neighbourhood.
