7-7 Ultra | Run for Ahlia
Advertisement
The 7-7 Run for Ahlia, on November 21st, is a fundraising running challenge, in honour of Ahlia Williams, who passed from the deadliest form of childhood cancer, DIPG, at just 7 years old.
There are two event options to choose from, allowing you to take on the challenge that best suits your goals and abilities. Both events will be based at the Bunbury Runners Club oval at Wyalup Rocky Point.
1. THE 7-7 ULTRA
The 7-7 Ultra is the ultimate endurance challenge, designed to push runners physically and mentally further with every passing hour. Inspired by the popular backyard ultra format, this event adds a unique twist: the distance increases by 500 metres every hour.
The challenge begins at 7:00am with a 5km course starting and finishing at the Bunbury Runners Club. One hour later, runners tackle the same 5km course plus one 500m lap of the oval. At 9:00am, it's the 5km course plus two laps of the oval. Then another lap is added every hour.
As the day unfolds, so does the challenge.
Each start line becomes a test of determination, pacing, nutrition and resilience. The distances steadily grow, fatigue begins to build, and runners must decide whether they have what it takes to answer the bell for another hour.
The final challenge starts at 7:00pm: the 5km course plus 12 laps of the oval. By then, participants will have covered over 100km and conquered a full day of running.
But don't let the word ultra intimidate you.
The 7-7 Ultra is designed to be a challenge for runners of all abilities. You don't need to make it to the final hour to be part of the event. Before the start, choose a personal goal that matches your experience and fitness level. Maybe that's reaching the 1pm start, completing five hours, running a half marathon, or simply achieving your longest-ever run. Whatever your target, make the commitment and see if you can rise to the challenge.
The only question is:
How long can you keep going?
2. AHLIA'S HOUR
Ahlia's Hour is the heart of the 7-7 event—a fun, inclusive challenge where everyone can take part.
Whether you're a runner, walker, parent with a pram, or a child keen to join the action, this is your opportunity to be part of something special.
Starting at 1:00pm, during the seventh hour of the 7-7 Ultra, participants will have one hour to complete as many laps of the Bunbury Runners Club oval as they can. There are no cut-off times, no pressure, and no minimum distance—just move at your own pace and enjoy being part of the community.
Some participants will run, some will walk, and others will cheer on friends and family as they challenge themselves and support an important cause.
Whether you complete one lap or ten, every step counts.
Join us for an hour of movement, connection, and community spirit as we celebrate Ahlia's legacy together.
