Run for fun. Run for impact. Run for the kids! The Dover Fun Run is more than a race, it’s a heartfelt thank you to the Royal Hobart Hospital’s Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), inspired by local girl Annabelle’s survival after a life-threatening injury. Uniting the community for the past 11 years, the Dover Fun Run welcomes participants of all ages and abilities, as they raise funds to help save the precious lives in the PICU.
Hayden, Chair of the Royal Hobart Hospital Research Foundation, is taking on a bold version of the Festive 500, a beloved Rapha cycling tradition. Putting his passion for pedalling to the ultimate test, Hayden will ride 500km over just four days this December – rather than the usual eight! With every pedal stroke, he aims to raise essential funds for medical research in Tasmania.
Trucks and Christmas spirit – The Tassie Convoy 4 Kids is back! A spectacular display of chrome, colour and community generosity at Christmas time, all in support of sick children and their families. Each year, hundreds of trucks and vehicles roll through Hobart adorned in festive decorations, spreading joy and raising funds for children’s healthcare at the Royal Hobart Hospital.
One runner. 213.5 km. A mission to give back.
Emergency Nurse and passionate trail runner Johnnie Eaton is taking on an epic challenge, running from Latrobe to Lake St Clair via the Penguin Cradle Trail and the Overland Track in early 2026. That’s 213.5 km of rugged coastline, canyons, and alpine wilderness, all in support of the Royal Hobart Hospital Research Foundation.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, the Foundation funds innovative research, vital hospital equipment, and education programs — all to create better health outcomes for Tasmanians.
