The HBF Run for a Reason 2026 brought thousands of people together in Perth for one of the city’s largest and most iconic community events. Participants ran, walked, and wheeled through the course, all united by a shared purpose: supporting important causes that make a real difference in Western Australia. The energy was electric, especially at Gloucester Park where the finish line celebrations took place. Perth Social Booth was proud to join the festivities alongside HBF Dental, adding to the excitement with our Infinity 360 Video Booth and Tattoo Printer activations.
The HBF Run for a Reason Experience
HBF Run for a Reason is more than just a race. It’s a day where community spirit shines through every step. Thousands of participants, from solo runners to families, teams, volunteers, and supporters, gathered to celebrate health, achievement, and giving back. The atmosphere at Gloucester Park was filled with cheers, laughter, and a strong sense of accomplishment as runners crossed the finish line.
The event’s scale and spirit make it a highlight on Perth’s calendar. It’s a place where personal bests are celebrated, fundraising goals are reached, and friendships are strengthened. Perth Social Booth was excited to contribute to this vibrant scene by providing interactive entertainment that captured these moments in a unique way.
Capturing Moments with the Infinity 360 Video Booth
Our Infinity 360 Video Booth was a hub of activity throughout the day. Positioned right at the finish line, it invited runners, families, teams, volunteers, and supporters to step inside and create memorable slow-motion videos. These videos captured the joy, relief, and pride of crossing the finish line or simply enjoying the day with loved ones.
The Infinity 360 platform uses a ring of cameras to film from every angle, creating dynamic 360-degree slow-motion clips. The booth featured:
RGB lighting that added vibrant colour effects, enhancing the fun atmosphere
An instant sharing station where participants could upload their videos to their phones via sms or airdrop as well as send a copy via email.
Custom branded overlays that included the HBF Dental logo and outro screen
Friendly on-site attendants who helped guests use the booth and share their videos
This setup allowed participants to instantly relive and share their achievements, spreading the event’s positive energy beyond Gloucester Park.
Bringing Fun to the Finish Line with the Tattoo Printer Activation
Alongside the video booth, our Tattoo Printer activation added another layer of fun and engagement. Participants could choose from a range of custom HBF Run for a Reason temporary tattoos and branded designs. These tattoos were a hit with runners and their families, offering a playful way to show support and remember the day.
Interactive activations like the Tattoo Printer increase engagement by giving attendees something hands-on and memorable. They create lasting impressions that go beyond the event itself. The tattoos sparked conversations, smiles, and photo opportunities, helping to build a stronger community connection.
The Energy and Team Spirit of the Day
The day was filled with moments of celebration. Runners cheered each other on, families gathered to support their loved ones, and teams celebrated fundraising milestones. The sense of achievement was palpable as participants crossed the finish line, whether they were chasing a personal best or simply enjoying the experience.
Volunteers and supporters added to the positive energy, making the event feel like a true community effort. Perth Social Booth’s activations captured this spirit perfectly, providing a space where everyone could share their joy and pride.
