Love Mercy founder Eloise Wellings was not only an Australian Olympian, but also a Little Athlete during her childhood, and we are honoured to be a part of the wonderful charity she helped establish.

Little Athletics NSW and Athletics NSW are flying ten runners to Uganda in November to compete in the Julius Achon Cross Country race – a cross country event on November 22nd.

LANSW and ANSW are looking for ten passionate runners, aged 15-18, to join Olympian Youcef Abdi in a life-changing experience – the trip’s dates are 16-26 November.

Please note that you don’t have to be an experienced runner to join the trip – if you can run 5km you are welcome to apply.

Throughout the year, the selected athletes will raise funds for Love Mercy through running events and their social streams.
