Sunday 23 March 2025.

We have two options available – there is a 24km walk from Sydney CBD to Tania Park, Balgowlah Heights and the 10km walk from Middle Head, Mosman to Tania Park, Balgowlah Heights. Check out the Walk information page to learn more.

We’ll do our best to accommodate your request but please note wave time numbers are limited. We recommend checking in with your walking buddies before registering to coordinate your preference.   

To request a change please email community@schf.org.au.

This year, every participant who makes a self-donation of $50 or more will receive our exclusive Walk for Kids with Cancer t-shirt.

We recommend wearing your event t-shirt with comfortable shorts or pants and closed toe walking shoes or runners. It’s best to train in the same footwear you’ll wear on the day to avoid any nasty blisters.   

This is an all-weather event so please keep an eye on the weather forecast and dress to the conditions.

• Sun safe clothing. 

• Weatherproof clothing (pending weather conditions). 

• A spare pair of socks. 

• Your own drink bottle to refill along the course. There will be no bottled water available. 

• Sunscreen. 

• Snacks to keep you going (there will be some available along the course but extra is recommended). 

• Basic first aid kit such as bandaids, paracetamol etc

There are three refreshment stations along the course where you can rest, rehydrate and replenish on snacks and water provided. 

If anyone requires medical attention on the day, our fully trained and equipped medics will be there to assist at the check points. Should you need to contact them along the course, please use the number provided on your map.

Unfortunately, this course isn’t suitable for wheelchairs, prams and strollers due to the number of stairs and uneven surfaces along the walk.

Unfortunately, not. The walk goes through a National Park where furry friends aren’t permitted.

Every effort will be made for the walk to go ahead safely whether it be rain, hail or shine. Should there be any unforeseen changes to the event we will communicate with participants via email and SMS.

Please arrive a minimum of 30mins before your start time to collect your bib on site. There will be a signed collection area at each start line. Bibs must be worn and visible for the duration of the event.

On average, you should allow 6-7 hours to complete the 24km walk and 3-4 hours for the 10km walk.
