Whether you are doing your #reliefrun solo or in a group; on the road, trails or indoors; walking or running - you are taking part in purposeful movement. . Why are we doing this? The bushfires in Australia have reached in scale that is unprecedented & catastrophic. For those who love the outdoors (athletes & beyond), the natural landscape is our playground and clean air is our lifeblood. . Let's focus on what we can do - our connection & care for our community; personal actions and environment. Let's contribute to positive change & put aside outrage and blame. . I'm proud of how we are stepping up & choosing to show up. Using what we have - to make it count!!! Registrations are definitely still open at www.reliefrun.com.au. We are $660,000 and climbing to support the incredible & critical work of the @redcrossau. . @niccyboy @strava @lululemon 💚💛 . 📸 @christhornvisual
