DONATE NOW →
Karin Traeger, from The Yarra Riverkeeper Association is set to run 280kms to Celebrate World River’s Day and raise money to promote a Healthy, Protected and Loved Yarra, Birrarung River. Karin is a Chilean ultrarunner and adventure fan who has been running for the past five years for “good”. From activating her local running community to clean the trails to becoming a plogging ambassador, Karin has been educating others on how to protect the environment while playing in the outdoors. Karin is also the CEO of the Yarra Riverkeeper Association.
The run will launch on World Rivers Day (25 September). It’s an opportunity to raise awareness about the Yarra, Birrarung River and its importance as a living entity for all Melburnians.
To support our vision of a healthy, protected and loved Yarra, Birrarung we humbly ask you to donate to our campaign. We're aiming to raise $100,000 which is a big ask but we know that Melburnians love a challenge and have huge hearts. The money raised will support our advocacy and stewardship activities in the catchment, enabling us to better protect our precious waterways.
