This year, Lorna Jane is stepping up its commitment to both fitness and social change through its Active Nation Day Events. On Saturday, September 28th, participants across Australia will not only celebrate the power of movement but also contribute to a critical cause—raising awareness and funds for Women's Community Shelters, an organisation dedicated to supporting women and children fleeing domestic violence.

In partnership with parkrun, Lorna Jane invites Australians to lace up their running shoes and join in at one of the Active Nation Day events held nationwide. Whether you choose to walk, run, or volunteer, every participant will help make a difference. For each registration, Lorna Jane will donate $1 AUD to Women's Community Shelters, with an ambitious goal of raising $100,000.
In addition to the chance to support a good cause, participants can look forward to exciting prizes. At each parkrun location, Lorna Jane will be giving away free accessories, along with chances to win Polar watches and Brooks Running Shoe vouchers. It’s an opportunity to be rewarded for staying active while supporting women and children in need.
The event is a perfect blend of fitness, community, and compassion. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking to enjoy some fresh air and socialise, the Lorna Jane x parkrun partnership offers a way to contribute to a brighter future for families affected by domestic violence.
Events will be held in cities across Australia, including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and more. Join the movement, score some freebies, and help reach the fundraising goal.
