Run Melbourne: make every step count

Are you looking for your next personal challenge? You can join Melbourne’s largest winter running event on Sunday, 13 July, and fundraise to make a difference. 

The Monash Health Foundation invites you to lace up your running shoes and join Run Melbourne 2025.  

By running as a team or an individual and choosing to fundraise for Monash Health, you will be making a positive impact on the community we care for every day. 

Last year, the Monash Health Haematology Department ran with support from friends, family and colleagues, and are back again training for the 2025 event! 

‘Run Melbourne is a great opportunity to not only have fun and connect as a team – but work together towards a goal that will directly support our patients,’ said Professor Jake Shortt, Clinical Director of Haematology at Monash Health.  

The Monash Health Haematology team cares for patients with blood cancers and disorders, most commonly lymphoma – treating 1 in 4 patients in Victoria. 

‘Funds raised by our team help us to build our services and enhance patient-centred care – supporting patients in the southeast to receive the best treatment, closer to home.’ 

You can join the Haematology team on the big day, start your own team (and fundraise for your selected department), or share your support with a donation
