Where does the money go?
For the Byron Bay Lighthouse Run, we take our responsibility over money and causes very seriously. In our early years we supported the NSW Cancer Council and the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter.
Since then, we have continuously changed charities, as we felt that some organisations get great support and others fall by the wayside a bit. In 2017 we changed names from Byron Lighthouse Run to Byron Bay Lighthouse Run, and underwent a complete re-brand.
