On 6 December, our community stood strong as part of the @weightofwar run.

In 37-degree heat, more than 60 participants aged 11 to 86 pushed beyond comfort, some carrying a 10kg weight vest to symbolise the shared burden of service.

Together, as part of a national movement across the 4 locations, $19,000+ was raised to support veterans through programs like @survivetothrivenation.

Special shout out to our local teams, Jase & Manic who raised $2K & @zero79foundation who raised over $11K.

PSA: This may cause a dampening of the crotchlua region.

We cannot and will not be held responsible for what you do with this video.

Extreme caution is advised

Weight Of War 2025 is done, but some things need to be said

@sareldk1 my man in the sand over in Karratha, an unfortunate late cancellation due to safety, but nonetheless still a key playing in all of this.

@nat_hawkns from @cronullarslcommunity who did an amazing job of getting the event off the ground and coordinating everything to make it and epic day.
Plus @fitzyrun4acause who was the face and pep man down there for me, he also showed everyone what a real man in budgys looks like!

Big Heath from Felons, he literally runs the show on the day and is the reason Brisbane works at all.

The sponsors: @felonsbrewingco ATP @pain.2.performance @matter_athletica @stone_real_estate TAC, and Intraface, special mention to Andrew as well for his contributions to the event.

To the lads who stepped up and crushed their fundraising goals, Jason, Jeff and Disco as well as all the lads at 8/9RAR Workshops. You are all absolute legends and I can’t thank you enough.

To everyone who came down to run or support or who donated, this event is just as much yours as it is mine. Getting to share in the suck and then sharing a beer is what makes this worth doing every year!

Lastly, donations close 31 Dec, so keep sharing your photos and add the link. I’ll do a post in the new year once’s all accounts are settled.

WOWR ‘26 might shape up to be bigger than the NYC marathon, it’s already better though!

From Soldier to Civilian: Finding Identity Again.

@joshjatkins shares the raw moment of leaving the Army; walking on base as a soldier, walking off as a civilian, handed a plaque and a “see ya, mate.” No roadmap, no talk of purpose. Just a sudden void.

He admits the struggle: beers, party drugs, self-destructive habits. But he clawed back identity by throwing himself into growth, first a PT course, then a uni degree, now chasing a Masters and even a Doctorate.
And through it all, he’s found extra purpose in hosting the annual @weightofwar Run. A space for mateship, vulnerability, and carrying the weight together.

🏃‍♀️Head down to Felons Brewing tomorrow morning at 10am for an 11am start. *Wear budgies and Josh will buy you a beer! 🍺🍻

⚠️IMPORTANT Cronulla @weightofwar UPDATE:

DUE TO EXTREME WEATHER, WE’RE STARTING ONE HOUR EARLIER.

‼️Briefing 9.45, step-off 10.00.

It’s gearing up to be a powerful day, shoulder-to-shoulder in support of veterans and the fight against veteran suicide.

🥵The forecast is HOT, so please look after yourself. Hydrate, use sunscreen, rest often etc. This is a community event, and showing up matters more than the kilometres.

🤓Everything you need for event day is in one handy webpage (see link in bio), so bookmark it and check it for updates.

🫶If you’re not stepping off due to the heat, stand easy and join us on the bowling green for a chat. Your presence keeps morale high for those carrying the weight of war. There’s still time to register via the link in our bio.

🦺Weight vest represents the weight carried with service
🩲Budgys show vulnerability
🔥The heat, well..it’s tougher than at 6am and that’s too early 🍻

🫡 This is about honouring service, supporting one another, and confronting the veteran suicide crisis together.

@cronullarsl are excited to walk/run alongside our incredible community @zero79foundation @southsrugbyclub @fitzyrun4acause @cronullarslsb @simonkennedycook @ben.haime @pricelinebaycentral @cronullafirstaid

Some bad news coming down the pipeline with regards to our Karratha event.

Unfortunately, due to an extreme heat event that’s occurring and a direct recommendation from the Heath Department WA.
We must unfortunately cancel Karrathas Weight of War Run for 2025.

Not to worry, the virtual run will be extending out a month, so when it’s safe to do so, you can still don the vest and budgys and tag the hell out of us!

But team, there’s always 2026!

🎙️🪖 Episode 91 will be live from 0500 tomorrow morning! 🪱 🐦

🎙️🪖 Episode 91 and I’m joined by Josh. Josh has packed plenty into both service and civvy life. He enlisted in 2009, smashed out IETs as a Steward at HMAS Cerberus, posted to 5RAR, then back to Cerberus to play footy and re-trade as a Cook before heading to 7CSSB.

He discharged in 2015, but kicked off his own business within 3 months and has been very successful in the PT and the sports science field! In 2021 he launched Weight of War, raising $52k+ across four events and already on track to add another $16k in 2025, pushing the total close to $70,000 raised for a bloody good cause.

Only a few more sleeps and the big day is here

The 5th annual @weightofwar run right here @felonsbrewingco

7 kegs, >2k of raffles and plenty of good chat during and after the run.

Rego is free but essential, so head to the link in the bio or get your spot!
