Southport Sharks is proud to bring our community together this International Men’s Day through Laps for Lads — a 12-hour community challenge raising funds and awareness for our local Men’s Shed organisation.

At Southport Sharks, we recognise the importance of men’s health and wellbeing, and the role that connection, conversation and community support play in making a positive difference. We’re committed to fostering an open, inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, supported and encouraged to have meaningful conversations.

Throughout the day, participants are invited to walk, run or simply join us for laps around our main football oval. It’s not about how fast or how far you go — it’s about getting moving, connecting with others and helping break down the barriers surrounding conversations about men’s health.

Along the way, enjoy a range of activities and activations, including a snack table and puppy station, creating opportunities to take a break, connect with others and enjoy the day.

Laps for Lads is open to everyone, whether you join us for one lap or stay for many. Every lap, conversation and donation helps support the important work of our local Men’s Shed, an organisation dedicated to fostering friendship, connection and a sense of belonging.

Donate, join us on the oval or simply help spread the word. Together, we can make every lap count. Any donations from those who can't make it down on the day will be greatly appreciated.
