As a participant who will join us on our journey towards 24,000km collectively, you will be expected to:

• Walk approximately 100km in total with 5 others through regular meet ups between April and June 2026. This will include approximately 75km between April and June 2026 through regular short walks, and 25km at a Capstone weekend.

• Ask your network to sponsor your 100km journey. We are aiming to raise $10,000 collectively.

• Attend our Capstone event where you will walk 25km between 19th – 21st June 2026 and we will celebrate our phenomenal achievement together. Accommodation and food will be provided.

You’ll fit right in if:

• You’re 18-30 years of age* and living in Brisbane

• You’re craving real community, not just ‘connections’

• You are committed to this journey together to walk 600km collectively as a team and to walking your part!

• You’re willing to be vulnerable with strangers

• You want to be a part of something bigger than yourself

• You’re comfortable raising support towards our sponsorship goal

* While our target audience is young adults who are 18 to 30 years of age, we’d love for you to get in touch if you would like to be involved but are outside this age range to see if we can work something out.

You will be expected to walk approximately 100km in total with 5 others between April and June 2026. Don’t worry, we will break this up into 5-10km walks (depending on individual fitness levels within the groups) that happen at a time and place that works best for the members in the team. A final capstone weekend will round it all off where we will walk 25km over Saturday and Sunday in the Sunshine Coast hinterlands and where we will celebrate our achievement together!

Unfortunately, as this will be a team event, there will be no option to walk less than 100km. While it will be a team effort, every team member will be expected to contribute their fair share of the distance.

Each team will meet and walk at a time and place that works best for their members. You can expect around one walk a fortnight.

Each team will meet and walk at a time and place that works best for their members. The walks will be around Brisbane (e.g. Southbank, New Farm, Kangaroo Point, a local park, etc.). We have no preset route! Feel free to make suggestions to your team too.

Life happens so you don’t need to attend every single walk. However, since we will be walking together, every walk you miss will mean the rest of the team will need to cover the extra distance. If you know you’ll miss multiple walks (e.g. travel or other family commitments), let us know before the program starts so we can plan accordingly.

Item descriptiThe capstone event is a weekend away where we will all walk 25km each in the Sunshine Coast hinterlands (approximately 1.5 hours north of Brisbane). This will also be our opportunity to celebrate our journey together and the phenomenal effort and result.

The capstone event will be held 19th – 21st June 2026 at QCCC Mapleton in the Sunshine Coast hinterlands.on

To join our team as a participant, a cost of $350 is involved. This will cover the capstone event, including 2 nights of accommodation (Friday – Sunday), all meals (Friday dinner through to Sunday lunch), linen/bedding, and final 25km walk.

We can accommodate any dietary restrictions for the meals at the capstone event.

We will be walking at a relaxed pace, however you will be expected to walk approximately 100km. If you have any concerns, please contact us.
