19 for 19 Challenge

About the Event

The 19 for 19 Challenge, returning on October 18, 2026, invites runners from Armidale and beyond to honor the memory of Anya Zuber while supporting osteosarcoma research. The race kicks off at Victoria Park, a scenic starting point surrounded by picturesque landscapes. Participants can choose between two routes: a challenging 19km walk or an accessible 7.5km option suitable for all ages.
Victoria Park offers firm yet slightly soft terrain, allowing runners to enjoy the natural beauty of their surroundings before venturing onto rugged paths at Mt McDonald. Here, elevation gains create both uphill and downhill sections, adding variety and excitement throughout the course. The journey concludes with a stunning finish line at Dangar's Falls, providing panoramic views across the escarpment.
Weather conditions are expected to be favorable on race day, with clear skies but potential temperature fluctuations from cool mornings to mild afternoons. Adequate hydration is crucial as weather can change rapidly; participants should bring their own water bottles due to limited disposable cup availability.
This event not only offers a rewarding physical challenge but also contributes significantly to advancing osteosarcoma research and treatments. Register online at https://raceroster.com/events/2026/112014/19-for-19-challenge by the deadline, or collect your bib on October 17 from 3pm to 8pm at Victoria Park.
The race caters to both local and non-Armidale participants, fostering community engagement across regional areas. Join us in celebrating Anya Zuber’s legacy while making a meaningful contribution to medical advancements.
