More Than a Marathon – A Community Tradition On Sunday 28 June, the 44th Mindfull Aus Pichi Richi Marathon will once again bring runners, walkers, volunteers, supporters, and visitors together in the spectacular Pichi Richi Pass.
Pichi Richi Railway is proud to support this iconic event again in 2026, with our historic Brill railcar helping transport participants to their start locations before they take on the challenge ahead.
Many of our own members are involved too — some volunteering behind the scenes, while others will be pulling on their running shoes and participating in the event themselves!
The marathon is more than just a race. Through fundraising efforts, participants help support Mindfull Aus, an organisation focused on improving mental health and wellbeing, particularly in rural and remote communities by providing hope, education, skills, and support to those facing mental health challenges.
We're sharing a photo of the Certificate of Appreciation presented to Pichi Richi Railway following last year's event — a recognition of the contribution made by our volunteers and members and one we are very proud to display.
There is still time to register if you would like to take part. Whether you're aiming for the marathon, half marathon, 10.5km, 5km, or simply cheering from the sidelines, you'll be supporting a wonderful community event that has been a tradition in the region for more than 40 years.
We wish all participants, organisers, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters every success for this year's event and look forward to seeing the Brill railcar and the runners set off on another memorable day in Quorn.
Good luck everyone!
