Building brighter futures.

CRIMFit is a strongman and CrossFit-style fitness event run inside correctional facilities across Australia.

Inmates organise and compete in the event themselves, choose the cause, and raise the funds.

Certain facilities offer programs that give inmates the opportunity to run initiatives like this - structured around physical fitness, personal accountability, and making a positive contribution to the community while they complete their sentence .

In 2023, Macqurie Correctional Centre ran CRIMFit and chose TCF. They raised $20,000. Now Lithgow Correctional Centre is running the event and they’ve chosen TCF again - with their sights set on beating Macquarie’s total.

Every dollar raised goes directly to TCF programs.

TCF’s Major Fundraising Event

2026 Form Projects TCF Special Forces Challenge

This challenge takes ordinary individuals and pushes them to their physical and mental limits
–all in support of raising funds for Building Brighter Futures for young people.

Led by an elite team of ex-military professionals, 30 recruits will endure a gruelling series of physical and psychological activities over 30-hours across two demanding days.

In the lead up to the event, recruits will compete to raise as much sponsorship as possible for their involvement. As an added twist, our military team plan some ‘special treatment’ for the highest and lowest fundraisers, making the stakes even higher.
