Community will Take Back The Track on Sunday

On Sunday, a community event will raise awareness to end the violence and harassment about women and gender-diverse runners.

It started when Gunditjmara Keerray Woorroong and Djap Wurrung runner Sissy Austin had experienced an attack while running in 2023 and decided to positively spin on it.

The event was launched last year, and this year it involves communities from all across Australia to stop these issues to happen.
