What is the event?
Walk for WAGEC is a 5km walk / 10km run at Centennial Park, Sydney to call for an end to violence against women and children.
Registration opens at 7:00am with the race starting at 9:00am.
It takes all of us to end domestic violence. Help us raise $500,000 to deliver crucial programs for women and children that restore safety, build financial independence, and promote their recovery from trauma.
Despite the gravity of the cause, Walk Day is a vibrant celebration of community. There’s something for everyone, with family friendly entertainment, great food from local vendors and even face-painting for our littlest walkers.
Come for a walk with us on Sunday 4 May to build safer futures for women and children.
