The Big Byron Run

Nate Thornbury’s 160km run aims to raise $5,000 for Fletcher Street Cottage’s Women's Relief Program

2024

The Big Byron Run is a 160km challenge on October 5, 2024, where Nate Thornbury will push himself to complete the distance in under 18 hours, all to raise $5,000 for Fletcher Street Cottage’s Women’s Emergency Relief Program. This extraordinary effort is about more than just the run—it’s a call for the community to come together and provide urgent support to women facing domestic violence and homelessness.

Running 160km in under 18 hours is tough, but it’s nothing compared to what women in crisis face daily. I’m doing this to raise funds for Fletcher Street Cottage, helping provide critical support for those in need. Together, we can make a real difference.
