Walking is an activity everyone can do together. From its outset, the Canberra Two-Day Walk has provided the platform for a healthy bonding experience for the entire family.
The two-day walk is not a timed event with winners and losers. It is a challenge for all ages and can be a fabulous bonding experience for family members from grandparents to grandchildren.
Think of the fond memories you can leave your children or grandchildren, of the weekend you achieved 7, 12, 21, 24 or 42km together?

Milestone Dates
The 2022 Peace Dinner and art auction is a fundraiser to be held the Southern Cross Club in aid of Give Every Child a Future.
The closing of this event will signify the opening of Earlybird entries for the 2023 Rotary Aussie Peace Walk.
We have to make calculations about the number of medals to make, how many volunteers we might need etc., so entries open with a special discounted early bird rate. This helps us gauge how much interest there is in the event.
The discounted price is your reward for making the commitment early.
The important date when the earlybird prices are replaced with standard pricing. If you didn’t get the earlybird discount this year, keep an eye out for next year’s early entry offers.
This is the cut-off date for entering the 2023 Rotary Aussie Peace Walk at standard rates.
A late fee will apply for entries after this date.
