OUR INSPIRATION: We are inspired by Sanctuary Runners; a movement started in Ireland in 2018 to use running and walking to connect people seeking asylum, newly arrived refugees and migrants, and Irish people of all backgrounds. Sanctuary Runners Australia began in Sydney in March 2026, with the support of Refugee Council of Australia. We aim to form South Australia’s first Sanctuary Runners group soon.
