Run the Noosa Runaway Marathon

Every kilometre can help create opportunities.

The 2027 Noosa Runaway Marathon is more than a running event. It’s an opportunity to challenge yourself while helping create opportunities for people with a disability across our community.

Compass is proud to be an official charity partner for the 2027 Noosa Runaway Marathon, and we’d love you to join Team Compass by choosing us as your charity when you register.

Whether you’re tackling the marathon, half marathon, 10km or 5km, your fundraising can have a lasting impact.

Why run for Compass?

Every day at Compass, people with a disability are discovering new skills, building confidence, making friendships and contributing to their communities in meaningful ways.

From welcoming customers in our cafés and creating handcrafted products, to learning practical skills on our farm, preparing for employment and exploring their communities, every opportunity helps build greater independence and confidence.

Your fundraising helps us continue creating the places, resources and opportunities that make this possible.

Your run can make a real difference

When you ask family, friends and colleagues to support your run, you’re inviting them to be part of something bigger than race day.

The funds you raise help Compass continue providing the environments where people can:

  • Build confidence through real-world experiences.
  • Learn practical and workplace skills.
  • Develop friendships and social connections.
  • Explore their interests and discover new strengths.
  • Participate in their community with confidence.
  • Create pathways towards greater independence and employment.

Every donation helps create more opportunities for people to learn, grow and contribute.
