All the answers to a few of your most asked Memory Walk & Jog questions. 

How many kilometres is Memory Walk & Jog?

Each event offers a choice between a short walk of approximately 2km, a long walk of 5-6km, and a long run of 5-10km. All our location's event courses are designed differently based on the route. So be sure to check out your chosen event page for more information. 

What should I wear?

We think comfortable is best!

Closed toe shoes are strongly recommended - these could be walking shoes or runners. Don’t worry, it’s not all active wear, we’d love to see you in fancy dress! You can get as creative as you like as long as you’re comfortable to complete your walk, jog, or run.

Can my family do different race types?

add remove

Absolutely! When you select the family ticket or buy multiple tickets for a team or organisation, please enter in the chosen race type for each person.

Can I change my race type?

add remove

Yes, you can choose a different race type by emailing us at memorywalk@dementia.org.au. Be sure to make your changes before online entries close though, as after that we’re sadly unable to alter your registration.

Can I walk with my dog?

add remove

Yes you can, all 4-legged friends do need to be registered though. It only costs $10.00 to register your doggo but that will guarantee their spot and we’ll post out a spiffy MW&J Dog Bandana to wear on the day!

I can't make the race. Are there other ways I can help?

add remove

Of course! If you can’t take part in the Memory Walk & Jog, you can still donate to a friend or cheer them on!

If you would like to volunteer in the lead up or after the event, we would love to hear from you! Head over to the volunteer page and let us know!

Is the event accessible?
