Yeppoon, 27 May 2025 – The Yeppoon Running Festival is excited to announce the return of JRT as the sponsor of the beloved 1.6km Family Fun Run. A cornerstone of the event for many years, JRT’s continued support highlights their ongoing commitment to community wellbeing, family involvement, and active lifestyles.
For JRT, supporting the Yeppoon Running Festival is about more than just sponsorship—it’s about showing up for the community they proudly call home.
“The Yeppoon Running Festival is more than just a race—it’s a celebration of community, health, and teamwork,” says Grace Sweeney, Executive Assistant at JRT. “Every year, we look forward to coming together with friends, families, and other businesses to cheer each other on and enjoy the day.”
The 1.6km Family Fun Run is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for all ages and fitness levels, making it a perfect event for children and families to participate together. JRT hopes their involvement helps encourage the next generation to embrace healthy habits and community spirit.
“We hope the kids walk away with a big sense of accomplishment and joy,” Grace shares. “It’s not about speed—it’s about showing up, trying something new, and feeling part of something special. These events can plant the seed for a lifelong love of movement and community involvement.”
As always, the JRT team will be fully engaged on the day of the event—not just as sponsors, but as active participants.
“Definitely! You’ll spot the JRT crew in all kinds of roles—some of us will be running, some cheering at the finish line, and others lending a hand behind the scenes,” Grace confirms. “We’re proud to support the event in whatever way we can.”
Now in their 19th year of operation, JRT has built a strong legacy not only through their civil construction and labour hire services, but also through a genuine commitment to giving back. Their involvement in local events, youth initiatives, and regional development projects underscores their values as a family-owned business with deep local roots.
“Supporting the Family Fun Run is our way of giving back and investing in the wellbeing of the communities we live and work in,” Grace adds. “It’s something we genuinely care about—and we’re excited to be part of it again this year.”
The Yeppoon Running Festival team is proud to continue their partnership with JRT and looks forward to another successful year of fun, fitness, and community connection.
