Nepal Run Australia

Run Together. Connect. Inspire. Give Back.

From the trails of Nepal to the roads of Australia — running together & inspiring communities.

Who we are

A running community built on friendship and service

Nepal Run Australia is a community-driven running and fitness initiative bringing together people who share a passion for running, healthy living, friendship and community service. It is inclusive of beginners, kids, women and experienced athletes, and connects Nepalese heritage with multicultural Australia.

Our purpose

Four reasons we lace up together

Run Together

Group runs for every pace — from first-timers walking-jogging their first kilometre to marathoners chasing a personal best.

Health & Wellbeing

Movement, fresh air and consistency. We build habits that support physical fitness and mental wellbeing all year round.

Community Connection

Friendship across generations and backgrounds, linking Nepalese heritage with the multicultural spirit of Australia.

Give Back

Volunteering, fundraising and charity runs, because being part of running is also about helping others reach their finish line.

Our story

From a few runners to a growing community

Nepal Run Australia grew from a simple passion for running and a desire to create a supportive community. Individual runners came together to share experiences, encourage one another and take part collectively.

Today our members take part in parkruns, fun runs, half marathons, marathons, ultra trail events and major running events across Australia and overseas — while also volunteering, fundraising and supporting community initiatives.

“Running brings people together, and together we can make a difference.”
