Join the Mother’s Day Classic this Mother’s Day and walk or run around The Tan to raise awareness and vital funds for breast and ovarian cancer research.

Walk or run in the 4km or 8km courses, or take on the brand new 12km course or the first-ever Mother’s Day Classic Melbourne Half Marathon. 21.1kms of purpose but with all of the same MDC vibes.

Since 1998 the community has donated a total of $50.8 million to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, and since 2024, to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. But they won’t stop til their done!

Together, let's stop breast and ovarian cancer in their tracks.
