Lighthouse Run & Rave

Lace up, light up, and move for something meaningful.

This is no ordinary morning. It's a full-body, soul-igniting experience that blends community, movement, music—and a stunning sunrise over the ocean. We're running and raving together to raise funds and awareness for , and you’re invited to be part of it.

Every year in Australia a staggering 26,000 babies are born prematurely (before 37 weeks' gestation). Raising awareness of the risks of prematurity and the ways to reduce the risk of premature birth is the first step in reducing the number of babies born prematurely and giving those who are, a better chance of survival. Worryingly, premature births have increased 0.4% between 2009 and 2019, although this is not evenly spread throughout Australian states.

After witnessing my nephew being born prematurely, I saw firsthand the incredible level of care, support, and medical expertise required to keep these fragile little humans alive and thriving. The emotional toll on families, the round-the-clock monitoring, and the resources needed to give these babies a fighting chance—it all left a lasting impact on me.

Inspired by that experience, I created this event as a way to give back—to raise much-needed funds and awareness for the tiniest fighters and the families who walk this difficult path. It’s more than just a run or a dance party. It’s about coming together as a community, moving with purpose, and celebrating life in the most joyful way we know how.

This event is for them. And for anyone who wants to make a difference, one step—and one dance move—at a time.

RUN & RAVE FOR A CAUSE

Tuesday, April 29 | 5:30AM | Cape Byron Lighthouse, Byron Bay

🎧 Run to the rhythm
We'll supply silent disco headsets pumping uplifting, energising beats to keep you moving in perfect harmony. As we climb the trail to Byron’s iconic lighthouse, the music will carry us, creating an almost meditative rhythm that connects us all.

💃 Dance into the dawn
Picture this: You’ve reached the top of the trail. The sea is glowing in early light. You slip into the groove with your headphones on. Live-mixed tracks fill your ears. You're dancing freely, facing the horizon, with the first golden rays of the sun painting the sky. It’s electrifying. It’s grounding. It’s unforgettable.

And the best part? You’re doing it for something bigger than yourself.

🏃‍♀️ How it works:

• Arrive early and be ready to run by 5:30AM sharp
• Meet at Captain Cook Lookout Car Park (end of Lighthouse Road)
• Bring a headlamp or torch—we’ll be on the move before sunrise
• Group run + silent disco up to the lighthouse (4km return)
• Dance at the summit as the sun rises
• Return feeling totally alive, inspired, and ready to take on the day
