Mother's Day Classic is returning to a location near you!
Walk or run at up to 70 events across Australia. In major and metro cities, you’ll experience the buzz of the event village, entertainment, music, and food stalls.
Or, join the sea of pink in your local community. Our Local events may be smaller in size but are big in community spirit!
If you’re unable to join us on Mother’s Day, you can participate at your own time and place.
Celebrating 28 years of impact
Since Mother’s Day Classic’s inception in 1998, over 1.7 million participants have donated $48.23 million to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) to fund life-saving breast cancer research.
Since 1994, the death rate from breast cancer has reduced by 40% - statistical proof that research is making a difference. However, there’s still a long way to go.
We’d love for you to join us on Mother’s Day, Sunday, 10 May 2026.
