Lorna Jane x parkrun

Lorna Jane is proud to announce a two-year partnership with parkrun in Australia and New Zealand. parkrun is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting health and social connections through 550 free, weekly 5k events across Australia and New Zealand that are open to walkers, runners and volunteers of all ages and abilities. With over 600,000 women participating across Australia and New Zealand, this collaboration is more than just a sponsorship. It's about increasing awareness and fostering a sense of community where everyone can belong. This partnership underscores Lorna Jane's commitment to inspiring women towards fitness in their lives, engaging with their community, and supporting a cause that aligns with its mission to empower and support women.

Active Nation Day 2024

On Saturday, the 28th of September, we celebrated our annual Active Nation Day in partnership with parkrun. This year’s event was particularly special as we united not just to get active, but also to raise crucial funds for Women's Community Shelters.

Rain or shine, parkrunners across Australia and New Zealand came together to show their support for this important cause.

We are thrilled to announce that Lorna Jane will be donating $76,714 to Women's Community Shelters!

This generous donation will significantly impact Women’s Community Shelters by helping to provide essential services such as:

Crisis Accommodation: Offering safe and secure temporary housing for women and children fleeing domestic violence or homelessness

Support Services: Providing access to counselling, legal advice, and resources that empower women to regain independence

Emergency Funds: Assisting with immediate needs like food, clothing, and transportation, ensuring that families have the basics while they transition to stable housing

Thank you to the Lorna Jane and parkrun community for joining us. We hope you enjoyed celebrating Active Nation Day with us at parkrun! Be sure to check out some of our favourite photos from the day!
