the course
10km walk or run
Worried about making it the whole way? Don't be! We know that 10km is a long way so if you need to tap out early we encourage you to do so. Whether you walk 1km or 10km, every step gets us closer to safer futures for women and children.
There will not be individual maps available on the day, so make sure you download the course to your phone ahead of time!
is there a cost?
$25 registration fee
Walk for WAGEC charges a $25 registration fee per person (children under 18 walk free). This fee helps us to cover the cost of the event, so all donations can go directly towards supporting women and children.
We acknowledge that we are walking on stolen Aboriginal Land. If you identify as a First Nations person, you are not required to pay the registration fee. To have your fee waived, please reach out to us by clicking the button below.
We also know that times are tough for everyone right now. If you are experiencing financial hardship, please get in touch.
who can attend?
everybody is welcome!
Any and all humans (and their four-legged friends) are welcome to walk with us. Walk for WAGEC is a safe, fun and inclusive event that celebrates our whole community.
If you have any accessibility requirements, please email our friendly team at fundraising@wagec.org.au.
is there entertainment?
let us entertain you
Despite the gravity of the cause, Walk Day is a vibrant celebration of community.
The good folks at Two Good will be keeping us fuelled up for our 10km, providing delicious food and coffee that will be available to purchase on site.
We've even got facepainting to keep our littlest walkers entertained!
We know the warm up is just as important as the Walk. Retrosweat will be helping you move your muscles and channel your inner Jane Fonda by leading an 80's inspired workout.
Food, fun and fitness - what more could you want!
