Big, but Beauuuutfiulllll day at Newborough Primary School rolling out Healthier Hearts & Lighter Minds thanks to the support of AGL Loy Yang 🙌

The students were fun, engaged and excited as they explored their 6 core emotions and how to navigate tricky moments. In the afternoon, we dived into the 3 parts of the brain — Amygdala, Prefrontal Cortex & Hippocampus — and how, when they work together with calm and presence, we can do our very best work. 🧠

Our facilitators left buzzing — what an incredible school community! Huge thanks to Christine for the warmth and kindness, and to Mandy for the amazing work you’re doing in wellbeing across the school.

We are excited about going on this journey with Newborough Primary.

Pichi Richi Marathon Named State Nominee for Australian Event Awards 2025

The 43RD Mindfull Aus Pichi Richi Marathon has been recognised on the national stage, announced as a South Australian State Nominee for Best Small Regional Event in the Australian Event Awards 2025.

The event’s nomination highlights the events recent revitalisation, particularly the introduction of a new finish line in the Quorn CBD, which has transformed the marathon into more than a sporting challenge. Now celebrated as a tourism event, the Pichi Richi Marathon encourages visitors to extend their stay, supporting local businesses and boosting both the local and regional economy.

The Flinders Ranges Council Mayor, Ken Anderson, praised the recognition, “We are extremely proud of how the Pichi Richi Marathon has grown over the years. To be nominated as one of the two highest-ranked South Australian events in this category is an outstanding achievement. It reflects the dedication of organisers, volunteers, participants and the wider community in creating an event that not only challenges competitors but also showcases the very best of Quorn and the Flinders Ranges. We look forward with excitement to a possible win at the awards.”

Matt Runnalls, Mindfull Aus CEO and Founder is excited for the nomination and is proud to be part of community events that prioritise connection, movement, and mental wellbeing—and the Pichi Richi Marathon is a standout example. “Events like this don’t just bring people together physically—they bring hearts, stories, and communities closer in ways that are deeply needed right now.”

“The Flinders Ranges Council has created something truly special with this event. It champions not only physical activity but also emotional connection, which is the foundation of strong, resilient communities. From the moment we became involved, we felt the passion behind it—people of all ages and walks of life coming together in an environment that encourages health, belonging, and support.”

“In regional areas especially, opportunities like this to move, connect, and celebrate community are vital. The Pichi Richi Marathon delivers that and more. It's inclusive, uplifting, and purpose-driven—everything we at Mindfull Aus value.”

The Pichi Richi Marathon is one of only two South Australian events to receive such high recognition this year. Winners will be announced at the Australian Event Awards Symposium in October 2025.

This nomination underscores the marathon’s growing reputation as both a premier sporting event and a driver of regional tourism, strengthening Quorn’s place on the national events calendar.

Pain becomes our purpose.
In response to a recent tragedy the good people down at Hill End Grove FNC showed up last week with an urgency to challenge the way we too often silently suffer.

Not only did this group have a crack at stepping in vulnerability and practicing how to be there for one another, but they taught me a thing or too about what it means to “listen to hear, not to respond”, to ask your mates if they “need a shoulder” and to remind ourselves that “we’ve lost too many already”.

Lead by a few inspirational leaders at the club, I was absolutely blown away at the sense of care, community and connection that this club obviously stands for.

So proud of everyones efforts. What a club.

Thank you Hill End FNC for having me! - Will Paul (Mindfull Aus)
