Past events

North Ryde eFun Run for Youth Mental Health

The 2023 eFun Run was a great success, with more than $13,000 raised.

The eFun Run is organised by the Rotary Club of North Ryde. Proceeds go to:

  • Australian Rotary Health, for research into youth mental health and support programs
  • Macquarie University Lifespan Health and Wellbeing Research Centre
  • other worthy Rotary youth projects.

The first North Ryde Fun Run was held in 2014, and then each year until 2019. North Ryde Rotary Club worked in partnership with community members and venue partner Macquarie University Sport and Recreation to hold physical events at the Macquarie University Sports Fields.

In 2021, the club transitioned the Fun Run to a virtual event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021 and 2022, the eFun Run raised more than $20,000 for youth mental health.

We greatly appreciated the generous support from our members and friends in the past and ask you to encourage your friends, family and colleagues to register, participate in this event in future and help raise funds for this very worthy cause.
