Two Before Ten has always been about more than just coffee

What started as a way to give people the perfect start to their day has grown into something bigger, a reminder that how we spend our time matters. Our mission is to inspire people to live with purpose, to make every day count, and to create little ripples of good in the world around them.

That’s what led us to 10 Before 2, a simple idea built around our belief that what we do every day matters. It’s a nudge to tick off ten small, doable tasks before 2pm, because those small wins can add up to something powerful.

Stroll The Lakes

Kick off the year exploring Canberra’s lakeside loops while easing back into movement after the holidays. Tick off Lake Ginninderra, Lake Tuggeranong, Lake Burley Griffin Main, Lake Burley Griffin East, and Lake Burley Griffin West across the month — all at your own pace, in whatever way feels good. And because it’s January… don’t forget the best part: finish each lap by dipping your feet in the water to cool off. Add Yerrabi Pond as a bonus loop to round out your month.

Running for Resilience Month

Work is back in full swing, so its important to make sure you stay social & don’t get dragged back into the work grind. February is Running for Resilience Month – show up, move your body, meet new people. Attend the same session each week or try to tick off multiple R4R events across the month.

5 Peaks

This October, we’re heading for the high points and ticking off five iconic Canberra climbs: Mount Majura, Mount Ainslie, Black Mountain, Mount Taylor & Red Hill. Walk, run or hike, it’s all about getting outside and discovering what Canberra has to offer. With the Stromlo Running Festival just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to build strength in your legs by tackling some hills.

10 Before 2: The April Trail Challenge

Two Before Ten started with a simple idea: two coffees before 10 am will set you up for your perfect day.

It’s all about building momentum and turning small wins into a productive day. Whether it’s a morning walk, finishing a book chapter, or choosing an alcohol-free day, these intentional actions add up.
