A.G. Coombs is pleased to announce our continued support of the Rialto Run Up, returning on Sunday 22 March to once again challenge climbers to conquer 1,240 steps across 54 floors of Melbourne’s landmark Rialto building — all in support of Giant Steps Melbourne.

This iconic event invites participants to run, walk or even crawl their way to Level 54, bringing together athletes, teams and community supporters to raise vital funds for children and adults on the autism spectrum.

A proud partnership

A.G. Coombs’ involvement with the event reflects not only our commitment to community wellbeing but also our long relationship with the Rialto.

This year, we are again stepping up — both as official sponsor and as an enthusiastic participant.

A.G. Coombs team set to climb

Building on the strong engagement seen last year, A.G. Coombs is entering a team of at least 30 employees who will take on the challenge together, representing our collaborative spirit, our commitment to health and wellbeing and our pride in supporting a very important cause.

Supporting Giant Steps Melbourne

Funds raised through the Rialto Run Up directly support Giant Steps Melbourne, a leading organisation providing specialist education and adult programs for autistic children and adults. Their programs offer life-changing support for individuals and families across Victoria.

A.G. Coombs is proud to stand behind this meaningful cause again in 2026.
