Mother’s Day Classic

The Mother’s Day Classic is Australia’s largest fun run and walk for breast cancer research.

The Mother’s Day Classic was founded in 1998 by Mavis Robertson AM (former National Chair of Women in Super) and Louise Davidson AM, to raise critical funds for breast cancer research and advocate for women’s health.

Just over 3,000 Australians registered for the first Mother’s Day Classic, with events held in both Melbourne and Sydney.

Now, the annual fun run and walk is held at over 70 locations across the country and has become a much-loved tradition for many Australian families and individuals.

Every year, the passionate, pink, and purpose-driven Mother’s Day Classic community run, walk, fundraise, and volunteer in support of life-saving breast cancer research.

Since 1998, $46.1 million has been donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, thanks to over 1.7 million participants nationwide.

The 2025 Mother’s Day Classic will take place on Sunday, 11 May. Join us and start your Mother’s Day with purpose. Click the link below to learn more.
