WHAT TO EXPECT

The New Town Toyota Walk for Women’s Cancer is more than just a walk, it’s a journey of hope, strength, and community.

Walkers will receive a supported and inspiring day filled with camaraderie as people of all ages and abilities come together to support vital women's cancer research at the Perkins.

The event features a scenic route, pitstops, plenty of cheering along the way and a vibrant atmosphere at the finish line, complete with music, refreshments, and celebrations.

Whether you're walking solo or with a team, the Walk is your chance to make a difference while creating unforgettable memories.

GOING THE DISTANCE

The official route is 35km, with a 42km option for those seeking an extra challenge. There’s also a new 14km route, ideal for younger walkers or those keen to push themselves. You can also choose to complete the Walk over seven days, but we encourage you to join us at the start and finish your final 5km on event day.

OPENING CEREMONY

The opening ceremony is the most heartfelt and emotional part of the day. Come together with your fellow walkers to hear from the Perkins team, your official Walk ambassadors, and those who we have loved and lost. The opening ceremony is a time to celebrate and reflect.

PIT STOPS

You'll be supplied with snacks, a nutritious lunch and toilet facilities along the route. Professor Leedman (aka Dr Lolly) will also be out and about with his secret stash of sweet treats!

ROSES

Each walker is gifted a beautiful rose bush at the end of the Walk. This is for you to take home and plant in your garden to remind you of the day and your incredible effort.

MEDALS

Each walker receives a commemorative medal for their efforts. This is presented when you cross the finish line.

PODIATRY

35km is definitely hard on your feet! That’s why included complimentary podiatry and foot care will be waiting for you on course and at the finish line.

POST EVENT CELEBRATIONS

After completing your Walk, it's time to celebrate! Stick around for the post-Walk festivities, where you can enjoy a well-deserved drink and delicious bites while relaxing with your family and friends.
