Sydney, Australia, January 22nd 2024 – Get ready to conquer mud, sweat, and fundraising goals! GoFundraise, the leading online fundraising platform, is officially powering fundraising for both Spartan Race and Tough Mudder Australia, bringing a new dimension to these iconic obstacle course events. 

This marks the latest development in a global partnership between GoFundraise and both endurance titans. Last year, the partnership with Tough Mudder UK and Spartan US raised over A$1,000,000 for charity, with A$200,000 raised by American Cancer Society alone.  Australia is now poised to witness a wave of charitable grit and determination.   

“We’re thrilled to bring the best of fundraising and obstacle course racing together on Australian soil,” said Stuart Finlayson, CEO and Co-Founder,  GoFundraise Australia. “This partnership unlocks incredible opportunities for participants to push their physical limits while raising vital funds for causes they care about deeply, adding a whole new layer of purpose and passion to their race experience.” 

Spartan Race and Tough Mudder Australia participants can now seamlessly integrate charity fundraising into their event registration directly through the GoFundraise platform. Whether it’s supporting local community programs, environmental initiatives, or national charities, every push, climb, and crawl can fuel a worthy cause. 

Partner Charities will have access to easy registration with integrated fundraising, their own branded landing pages, and discounted entry registrations for fundraisers. 

“Partnering with GoFundraise allows us to offer our participants a platform to amplify their individual journeys and make a real difference in the lives of others,” said Russell Nelms, CEO of Spartan Australia, NZ and Fiji. “It’s about pushing boundaries, not just on the course, but also in terms of generosity and community impact.”

The official launch of GoFundraise integration with Spartan Race and Tough Mudder Australia marks the beginning of a new era in obstacle course racing. Get ready to witness mud splattered smiles, triumphant fist pumps, and a surge of charitable giving – because in Australia, it’s no longer just about crossing the finish line, it’s about leaving a lasting impact on the world, one mud-caked obstacle at a time. 

Opportunities for Charities: 

Participants of these events will be able to choose to fundraise for any of the 7,000+ Australian charities on the GoFundraise platform. Charities who want to champion the events to maximise their fundraising can get in touch with GoFundraise to discuss extra opportunities, including discounted tickets for fundraisers and additional marketing opportunities.
