The OX 100K, Lennox Head (2026)

16/03/2026

Calling on brands and businesses who want to be part of something bigger.

Local businesses, fitness brands, nutrition partners, apparel labels, sunglasses, running socks - from local legends to national and global brands - we invite you to be part of something truly meaningful.

The Ox 100km returns to Lennox Head this October for its fourth year. With 300 runners and thousands of supporters across the 24-hour event, it’s an opportunity to showcase your brand, but more importantly, to stand behind a cause that matters.

The Ox raises funds for RUN DIPG, supporting children and families facing the incurable DIPG. Every partnership and every (tax-deductible) donation helps us send vital funds directly to the charity.

Yes, it’s a brand moment. But more than that, it’s a human moment.

We’re inviting partners to get involved through:

• Lap Sponsorships - logo placement on event scrim signage, social media and EDM support
• Prize Partners - spot prizes, raffle prizes and runner rewards
• Major Event Partners - helping bring the event to life so every dollar raised can go directly to the cause

Over the past three years, this small community has raised more than $500,000 for RUN DIPG.

Because when a community comes together, extraordinary things can happen.

If you or your brand would like to be involved, we’d love to hear from you.

With a little over two weeks to go, let’s not forget why we’re here.

DIPG cancer is currently incurable. The life expectancy is just 9-11 months post diagnosis. Children deserve better. Their families deserve better. And we want to be part of the change.

Every dollar raised for through The Ox goes towards research aimed at providing better outcomes.

The generosity of our community is something to be so proud of and we are so proud to call Lennox home.

If you feel called to, we invite you to donate via the link in our bio or purchase a raffle ticket for your chance to win one of 6 prizes.

If you’re not running in the event, bring your friends and families down, cheer on the runners, buy a coffee from .lennox or buy some food from .lennox - both will have stalls down there for the weekend and funds raised will go towards the cause.

Shaping up to be another special weekend, can’t wait to see you all there.

Frankie’s Tree by 🌈

This super special piece has been custom made for The Ox Big Rad Raffle 🥹 For your chance to win, head to the link in our bio and purchase your tickets. All proceeds go towards our fundraiser.

“The painting is inspired by Frankie’s Tree, a place where love and memory continue to grow. The outline of the Lennox Headland forms a gentle “F,” symbolising not only Frankie but also the way the community comes together around her and her family. Just as the tree stands strong and rooted in this place, so too does the spirit of Frankie. Forever part of Lennox and all who gather in her memory. 🩷”

In 4 weeks, The Ox will challenge us to push ourselves physically, mentally and emotionally - testing our endurance like never before. As we run, let’s draw strength from the spirit of Frankie Fitzgerald, whose fearlessness, love and warrior heart remind us that we are capable of more than we think.

Let’s remember why we’re here - to raise funds for for better outcomes for children and families like Frankie’s. You are not alone. You are safe here. The Lennox community is here for you.

Through every step, let’s carry the depth of our humanity, the fullness of our hearts and the power of the community that lifts us when we need it most. Let’s honour Frankie by running with courage, passion and the fearless spirit she embodied.

DIPG is relentless, but so are we. We’ve raised $77,000 already - but we’re a long way from our goal of $240,000. Please share our cause, grab a raffle ticket, donate if you can and join us over the weekend of the 11-12 October at Lennox Head. If you’re not running, we’ll need all the support we can get.

In memory of Frankie 🌈

The Ox is a test of endurance, strength and community. Over 24 hours, we will run 100km - not for ourselves, but for the children facing the unimaginable. DIPG is relentless. But so are we.

This isn’t meant to be easy. You’ll feel discomfort, exhaustion and pain. But you’ll also feel the power of moving together. You’ll see what happens when people lift each other up in the toughest moments. You’ll witness what a determined community can do.

Not everyone can run. But everyone can show up. Support, cheer, volunteer and be part of something bigger. Because oxen don’t work alone - oxen move as one.
