Registrations are now open for one of the Central Coast’s most inspiring community events – Mingara Relay For Life 2025, which will take place overnight from 10am on Saturday, September 20, to 10am on Sunday, September 21, at the Mingara Athletics Track.
Organised by passionate local volunteers, Mingara Relay For Life gives the Central Coast community a chance to join forces in support of everyone affected by cancer, have fun at a community festival, and raise vital funds Cancer Council’s world-class research, prevention, advocacy and support services.
Holly Bennett from Cancer Council NSW said the event is a powerful symbol of hope and resilience in the face of cancer.
“Mingara Relay For Life is about more than just walking; it’s about community, connection and getting on track to end cancer,” she said.
“This year, we have a fantastic program planned, including a vibrant Kids Zone, Workshops, Live Entertainment, an Honouring Survivors and Carers morning tea, and the moving Candlelight Ceremony (at which people can) reflect and remember.”
Mingara Relay For Life welcomes participants of all ages and backgrounds.
In the lead-up to the event, teams of friends, families, schools and workplaces raise funds, before coming together on event weekend to walk or run in relay-style – symbolising that cancer never sleeps, and neither do we.
This year’s local Relay Ambassador is Elle Sproll, a passionate cancer survivor and health advocate.
She will be hosting a free Own Your Health workshop during the event, sharing her personal story and empowering others to live well.
