Our Mission
Loneliness isn’t just a fleeting emotion—it’s a serious public health issue, especially among young Australians. Recent data reveals that over one-third of all deaths among Australians aged 15–24 are due to suicide, making it the leading cause of death in this age group.
In a 2022 survey, 1 in 5 (17%) males and 1 in 6 (15%) females aged 15–24 reported feeling lonely. This emotional isolation can have a deep impact on mental health, increasing the risk of depression and anxiety.
This isn’t just a statistic—it’s a wake-up call. And it’s why we believe creating real, in-person connections is more important than ever.
That’s where Hills Run Club comes in. We’re not just about running—we’re about reuniting people with purpose, community, and connection.
We understand that for many, meeting new people can feel intimidating, especially when loneliness already feels like a wall between you and the world. So we make it easy.
We gently guide individuals out of their comfort zones and into genuine connection—whether you’re walking, jogging, or just turning up to be part of something bigger, we’ll walk (or run) beside you, every step of the way.
