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.
