Helping kids with brain cancer: Buxton returns to support Connor’s Run 2026

• Brain cancer is the leading cancer killer of young people
• Buxton returns as Presenting Partner for the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation’s Connor’s Run
• Bring your family, friends and team along on Sunday, 13 September, with three routes to choose from

Founded in 2013, the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation was created by Bayside local Liz Dawes in memory of her 18-year-old son, Connor. Each September, Connor’s Run brings thousands of people together with a shared purpose: helping kids with brain cancer, funding global research advancements and supporting families throughout their brain cancer journey.

Buxton is proud to return as Presenting Partner for Connor’s Run, continuing a partnership grounded in our shared values of community, connection and helping shape brighter chapters ahead.

Known for its unique spirit and energy, Connor’s Run lives up to its slogan, More Fun than Run. With three different routes available, participants can choose to run, walk or even dance their way along the course. Dotted throughout are beautiful bayside views, moments of connection with fellow participants, entertainment and refreshments.

Once participants cross the finish line, the celebration continues. Physiosports massages, a lululemon cool down zone, music and refreshments will be waiting to help everyone relax, recharge and enjoy the atmosphere. For those who aren’t quite ready to head home, the Connor’s Run Arbory After Party is just a short walk from the finish line and will keep the good energy going a little longer.

Last year, 55 Buxton team members joined the event, and we’d love to see even more of our team and the people we help take part in 2026.
