We encourage people who use wheelchairs and people with prams to use the paved pathway throughout the course. Our staff can provide assistance on the day. If you have any accessibility needs, please get in touch with us via fundraising@wagec.org.au.

10km walk or run

We've set out a route that you're going to love! Enjoy 10km of gorgeous scenery around Sydney's Centennial Park. 

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!
