Community involvement

Mini-Mos started back in 1982, when a small team of Mosman Public School committee members and dedicated parents, led by Agnes Levine, wanted to do something just a little bit different to raise funds for the school.

“The City2Surf had been around for a while but there was this growing popularity with fun runs so we thought we’d give it a try and it sort of took off from there,” said Agnes.

“We did a lot of visiting other fun runs, going out and seeing how they ran and that’s where the learning came in. Appealing to the running community was the challenge.”

Agnes, with her children Judith, Aaron and Naomi in tow, spent weekends ahead of Mini-Mos visiting other fun runs around the city, handing out flyers promoting the event.

It worked - the first Mini-Mos, a unique run-and-combined-fair, raised an incredible $25,000 with hundreds of runners taking part.

“The whole day, the whole atmosphere was wonderful. It’s fantastic to see it still going so strongly,” Agnes added.

Since then Mini-Mos has gone from strength to strength, with millions raised and thousands of runners taking part, including Prime Ministers, Olympians and TV personalities.

The race is complemented by a spectacular fair with goods stalls, fun activities for children, and various rides. For race information and registration, visit the official Mini-Mos website.

Supporting our School and Charities

All the money raised by race registrations, sponsors and from the fair goes directly to Mosman Public School, helping to fund additional teaching resources, new technology and infrastructure improvements. In previous years Mini-Mos has helped fund new play equipment, artificial turf for a soccer pitch, additional teaching resources and air conditioning for classrooms.

Over the past 5 years Mini-Mos has raised for the P&C

• 2018 - $116,000
• 2019 - $113,000
• 2022 - $126,340
• 2023 - $130,456
• 2024 - $145,000
• 2025 - $136,000
