My absolute favourite is around my mum’s place in Gundary. Dirt roads, bush, kangaroos and wombats.
Mel Warman
Boobs on the Run has very much grown as a community, from the very first course to the last one just completed.
Joy-Ann Brewer
I started running as I wanted to get fitter and be a good example for my kids, it had to be a sport that would fit into our lives. It gave me mental space which we all need with the busy world!
Vickiann Hewitt

Britt Welander
I love running at Bondi or round in Centennial Park. You have so many options there with hills, undulating and flat

Running is something that I just did for a bit of exercise and over time it becomes a little addictive.

Carolyn Wetherall
My passion for running did not come from an individual as such, rather the feeling it brings. It just brings me so much joy and a feeling of being strong, free, confident and capable.

What its Like to Run with Us
Since starting to run with BOTR I have achieved not only the finish of the city2surf but also the half marathon which I could not have done without the support of all the run leaders. Through BOTR I have fun new friends and run companions and a passion to support my mental health which I am forever grateful for.
And MEL as a leader of this organisation you just rock in all the volunteer work you do and what you give back to the communities. I am looking forward to running many years with the BOTR team.
I signed up to Boobs on the Run because I wanted to improve my fitness and make some new friends.
I got all that and so much more. Three years on and I’m more fit than I’ve ever been, I’m part of a wonderful supportive community of friends, and I’ve discovered the amazing benefits in mental well-being that running can provide. What Mel has created with Boobs on the Run is truly life-changing. Running makes me happy!
