Partner with Us | Red Ribbon Run

Now in its third year, the Red Ribbon Run is Australia’s only annual fun run dedicated to World AIDS Day, bringing together people living with HIV, allies, and the wider community.

Doubling in Runners every year, the fun run gets people of all ages and generations involved.

Put Your Best Foot Forward
While new HIV transmissions are low and Australia is on track to reach the UNAIDS 95:95:95 target – vital work is needed to ensure this progress continues.

Funding cuts here and abroad threaten this goal, which is why we need you!
