The event aims to raise awareness about the impacts of domestic violence in Australia.

The athletes finished first in 2017 and set the current three day record.

They hope to smash that 2019 record on August 30.

Groups of up to 20 people would normally walk or run 1300km from Broken Hill to Sydney to retrace the 2017 Steps Together Ultramarathon.

This year, the Port Macquarie group of 10 will instead travel on foot from Port Macquarie to Crowdy Head and back in their kilts.

A team of 10 would usually average six to seven kilometres per day to complete the challenge, however the Kilted Athletes plan to complete 130kms each in a single day to set the new record.

League clansman Clifford Hoeft said the group is sending a racing team and participatory team to raise awareness for domestic violence.

"Members of the group perform to their best ability but a single person cannot win the day, it's got to be a team effort," he said.

"As a challenge we decided every team member has to run 130kms on the first day. It is a challenge and not something we've ever attempted before.

"There is a lot of uncertainty around getting 10 guys to complete that distance in a single day, but we want to feel that we have accomplished something.

"Setting the record of three days in 2019 didn't leave much wiggle room and it really made the one day attempt seem like the ultimate challenge. We honestly do not know if we can do it."

Run Against Violence aims to raise $20,000 for a grants program to support running groups undertake prevention initiatives in their local communities and another $20,000 to invest in the existing childhood family violence education program.

The 1300kms equates to 1.7 million steps, which is the estimated number of Australians who have experienced physical abuse before the age of 15.

Mr Hoeft said the team of 10 kilted athletes has three experienced ultramarathon runners and has been training for three months for the event.

"During our training most of our runners have successfully done their longest runs and they will more than double their previous longest run in the event," he said.

"Nothing can prepare you for those kinds of distances but we will run together and we have paced out every kilometre.

"Obviously being involved in previous years we are keen to come back again, but our focus is always on raising awareness to bring an end to domestic violence. We are happy to do anything we can to support that cause."

Mr Hoeft said the League is also fundraising towards a target of $10,000 to contribute to the cost of renovations at Liberty Domestic & Family Violence Specialist Services in Port Macquarie.

"The fundraising target will be a contribution towards the renovations of the bedrooms at Galbaan House, Port Macquarie crisis accommodation for women and children escaping domestic and family violence," he said.

"We have set up a fundraising page with Liberty to refurbish their crisis accommodation."

The renovation project involves renovating and modernising five family bedrooms for the mothers and children who stay with Liberty. The total cost of the renovation is around $30,000 and includes new flooring, furnishings, blinds, painting and décor.
