National Take Back the Track Day is a day to raise awareness on the unacceptable harassment and violence towards women and gender diverse runners. It is also a day to celebrate why women and gender diverse people love running so much and the reasons why it is worthy of being protected.

ABOUT THE MOVEMENT
Take Back the Track is a movement founded by running attack survivor Sissy Austin, who is actively advocating for the safety of women and gender diverse people to exercise/run free from violence or the fear of.

In 2025 Take Back the Track facilitated its inaugural National Take Back the Track day, which saw women and gender diverse runners across Australia joining the movement, hosting events in their communities and dedicating their Sunday run to the mission of Take Back the Track. Take Back the Track creates opportunities for women and gender diverse runners to join a movement that brings like-minded individuals together with the vision of feeling safer, more connected and an increase in wellbeing and belonging whilst exercising in public places. National Take Back the Track day is an annual day organised and led by Sissy and supporters.

Why is National Take Back the Track day in February?

The significance of National Take Back the Track day being within the first two weeks of February is because this is the month where both Sissy Austin (February 11th) and runner Samantha Murphy were assaulted whilst running, 1 year apart, both in the Ballarat bushlands in Western Victoria. Sissy survived her running attack on February 11th 2023, Samantha Murphy was last seen alive going for her morning run on February 4th 2024.

Take Back the Track pauses each February to remember Samantha Murphy and stands in solidarity with Samantha’s friends, family and community. Holding National Take Back the Track within this time signifies reclaiming our right to run free from violence and/or harassment.

Take Back the Track is a grassroots, community-led movement with big dreams and goals for how it will continue to grow with time.

We Stand with Boorloo and Call Out the Silence...if you are not outraged by what happened in Perth on the 26th January we ask you to reflect on what this means to our humanity. The silence is allowing radical behaviour to take hold in our Country.

Grounded Women – our Friday side-project that’s really about connection ❣️

Grounded Women is a relaxed side project where women from the South West Aboriginal Women’s Collective come together to slow down, yarn, laugh, and just be.

Every Friday, we gather at Milligan Community Centre, 35 Milligan Street, Carey Park. There’s no pressure, no expectations — just a safe, welcoming space to connect.

Some weeks we yarn.
Some weeks we eat cake ☕🍰
Some weeks we get our hands busy with a bit of art or craft.
All weeks are about community, care, and showing up as you are.

If you’re looking for a afe space to connect with other women, Grounded Women is here. Come for five minutes or stay the morning — whatever feels right.

Fridays | Milligan Community Centre | 35 Milligan St, Carey Park
All women welcome ❣️
