The Man Walk

The man walk provides an opportunity for men to get together to walk, talk and support each other in a regular and healthy way. There are walks available all across Australia, have a look to see where your closest walk is located. 

There are two walks in the ACT that we would like to invite our delegates to participate in, Tuggeranong on Wednesday August 28, 6:30am, and Belconnen, on Saturday August 31 at 7am.

All information about meeting points and walking routes can be found here. 

Running for Resilience

Started by Matthew Breen 10 years after losing his father to suicide, Running for Resilience (R4R) began as a one-time run, seeing 20 people meet at The Dock in 2019 to pound the pavement in the name of suicide awareness and prevention. Now, R4R hosts four weekly events that draw more than 500 participants to run, jog, or walk a circuit at the Kingston Foreshore. 

The run/walk is anywhere between 3-7kms. It's an ‘out-and-back’ course so participants can turn around at any point, and they meet for coffee at 7th and Bake cafe afterwards. 

Delegates can Friday 30 August at 6.15am. More information can be found here.
