Would you like to do the Bloody Long Walk?
This is a 35km walk that takes in beautiful views of Canberra and its natural surrounds. Starting from Red Hill you'll make your way to Lake Burley Griffin and walk around the lake heading off in a westerly direction. During the course pass some of Canberra's most iconic buildings including Parliament House, the War Memorial then completing the walk at Commonwealth Place.
The course is fully supported with checkpoints along the whole way. The checkpoints are located between 3.5km-7km apart. Medical support staff will be stationed at each checkpoint plus water refills, sunscreen, toilets and fruit.
The walk is a fundraiser to help Australians living with mitochondrial disease. CBC has a small cohort of members who have registered to participate in this walk as a team. If you're interested in joining us on this bloody long walk please register your interest via Bilby. More information will then be supplied on how to register for this walk as a member of our team.
Please keep in mind that this is an exceptionally long walk and a reasonable fitness level (and good pair of walking shoes) are required.
To participate a registration fee is payable along with a donation. The registration fee is not tax deductible whereas any donations made are taxable.
