About
Striving for the crown one kilometre at a time.
As members of the St Mary’s College Run Club, we are proud to be men of Action, Integrity, Faith and Excellence—and this year, we’re putting those values into practice by taking on one of Australia’s toughest endurance events: The Kokoda Challenge.
We’re not stepping onto the track for ourselves alone. We are walking—and running—for a greater purpose. Our team is raising funds for the Kokoda Youth Foundation, an organisation dedicated to empowering young Australians through life‑changing programs. These programs support disengaged youth by building the Kokoda values of Courage, Endurance, Mateship and Sacrifice—values that align closely with what we strive to embody every day as St Mary’s men.
Since 2004, the Kokoda Youth Foundation has delivered fully funded, transformative opportunities to hundreds of young people across the country. Their work is only possible because of teams who take on the Challenge, and supporters who stand behind them.
By donating, you’re helping young Australians discover their potential, develop resilience, and grow into leaders.
Thank you for backing us as we strive to serve others and live out the College motto in real and meaningful ways.

My son did the Kokoda trail about 10 years ago. He was so in awe of what our soldiers endured. Best of luck Luke. What a great cause.

Well done Luke for taking part in this great event! We ourselves have done something quite similar & really enjoyed it. 48kms - Quite a distance! All your running will help you in training for this event. All the best with the fundraising. From the Robinsons family.
