Registrations are now open for Sydney’s steepest charity challenge – the Humpty Dumpty Balmoral Burn – returning to Awaba Street, Mosman, on Sunday 25 May 2025.
Bringing together thousands of Australians to tackle Mosman’s infamous 420-metre incline, the Balmoral Burn is more than just a test of endurance. Every step helps the Humpty Dumpty Foundation provide essential – and often lifesaving – medical equipment and healthcare initiatives to more than 500 hospitals and health services across Australia.
With more than 20 different races on offer, there’s something for everyone – from families and first-timers to elite athletes and even four-legged friends. Participants can run solo or alongside their school, sports group or workplace, making the Balmoral Burn a race where passion meets purpose.

This year the babies are back bigger, bouncier and ready to take on Australia’s only inflatable baby suit race - Run Baby Run - which made its official race day debut last year. Humpty Dumpty Foundation supporter Tim Akers made history in 2023 as the first-ever participant in an inflatable baby suit to honour his son Archie, who was born three months early at just 900 grams and spent 12 weeks in a Neonatal Care Unit using Humpty Dumpty Foundation donated equipment.
Founded in 2001 by Wallabies great and Humpty Ambassador Phil Kearns AM, this milestone Sydney event has raised over $35 million, proving that when communities come together, big things happen for little lives. Funds raised from the Humpty Dumpty Balmoral Burn directly help sick children receive the best possible care, when and where they need it most.
Whether you’re taking on the famous steep climb up Awaba Street or cheering from the sidelines, there’s something for everyone. With kids’ entertainment, delicious food, and live activations, the entire Sydney community can enjoy a fantastic day out while helping to ensure every Australian child has access to quality healthcare no matter where they live.
