Sydney Marathon 2027 Charity Places

Challenge Events Fundraising

Take on your own challenge for those facing theirs.

Arrow has secured 25 official charity places, giving runners another opportunity to take part in one of Australia’s most iconic running events while supporting Australians undergoing stem cell and bone marrow transplants.

Join Arrow Foundation as a Charity Runner for Sydney Marathon 2027 and run with purpose. Every kilometre run and every dollar raised helps support patients and families through the challenges of a bone marrow and stem cell transplant journey.

Why Run for Arrow?

Every year, thousands of Australians undergo a stem cell or bone marrow transplant as part of treatment for a range of serious blood disorders, cancers, immune deficiencies and other life-threatening conditions. The transplant journey can be physically, emotionally and financially challenging for patients and their families.

Funds raised through Team Arrow help ensure patients and families can access the support, information and resources so they can focus on what is most important – their treatment, wellbeing and recovery.
