At Paladin Fitness Racing we believe in the power of community—both on and off the racecourse. Our commitment to fostering strength, resilience, and connection extends beyond fitness; it’s about uplifting those around us. That’s why we proudly support Orange Sky, an incredible initiative dedicated to helping people doing it tough by providing free laundry, warm showers, and, most importantly, meaningful conversation.

Through our events, we aim to raise awareness and contribute to Orange Sky’s mission of positively connecting communities. Every race isn’t just a personal challenge—it’s an opportunity to make a difference. Together, we can champion fitness, community spirit, and compassion, one stride at a time.

Orange Sky Australia is the world’s first free mobile laundry service for people experiencing homelessness – an idea founded in a Brisbane garage by two 20-year-old mates, Nic Marchesi and Lucas Patchett.

In late 2014, the boys installed a couple of washing machines and dryers in the back of their old van and visited parks around Brisbane to wash and dry clothes for free. What started as an idea to improve hygiene standards and restore dignity to people doing it tough has evolved into something much bigger and more powerful.
