The 2nd Annual 65K 4 65 Roses Walkathon will take place on Saturday 30th May 2009. |  |
The event will again be held around the famous 'Bay Run' at Iron Cove, Sydney.
The 2009 event will allow people to take part in one of four ways:
- Ultra Endurance - Test your stamina, endurance and mental strength and join a group of walkers each walking 65km. (More information on the Ultra Endurance Event here )
- Team Relay - Get a team together and between you walk 65km, in a relay style (More information on the Team Relay Event here )
- Casual Walker - Take part as an individual, with work friends, social groups and families, just nominate the number of laps you will aim to complete and come along on the day.
- Sponsor - No need to walk, you can simply donate or sponsor a walker or team. Click here to Sponsor a Friend
Register HERE and set up your Fundraising Page now!
Create an individual Fundraising Page, or if you are entering as a team, a Team Fundraising page, that others can join. When building your page, remember to state which component of the event will be participating in.
Registration Fee:
To take part in the walk-a-thon each participant will need to make a small donation to Cystic Fibrosis NSW.
- $25.00 per person for the Endurance Event & Team Relay.
- $15.00 per person for the Casual Walk.
Once you have completed your fundraising page you simply donate the fee towards yourself.
Raising Money - Sponsorship and Donations:
Lets not forget that as well as fitness and fun (?) this event is about raising much needed awareness and money for Cystic Fibrosis NSW. Without your efforts on the day in helping to raise money through donations and sponsorship this event will not be successful.
When you register for the walk and set up your fundraising page, you will be asked to set a fund-raising target. This target will help you focus on raising much needed funds. In order to hit our target of $65k we recommended that all walkers aim to raise $500 each, so if you are entering as a team, set your target @ $500 x number of walkers in the team.
Here is a handy guide on how you can raise $500 in one week.
Prizes:
To help motivate you there will be prizes on offer for those who raise the most $$. More information to follow
