WHAT TO EXPECT
The excitement of Walk day kicks into high gear with a blend of fun and lively traditions that keep everyone buzzing.
GOING THE DISTANCE
The official route is 35km. But for those who wish to complete a full marathon, we have a 42km version. You can also do the Walk over seven days in the lead up to the official event day.
If you choose to do it over seven days, we hope you will still join us for the beginning of the Walk and complete your last 5km on the route.
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 yummy 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
MEDALS
PODIATRY
35km is definitely hard on your feet! That’s why complimentary podiatry and foot care will be waiting for you 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, some delicious snacks while relaxing with your family and friends.
