$25.

This $25 does also count towards your total fundraising tally.

Your health and wellbeing is important to us; going virtual means that you can continue to train, get outside and engage in some physical activity now. The future of social gatherings is very uncertain and therefore we made the decision to go virtual this year. We hope to hold a physical event again once social distancing restrictions are no longer necessary.

Even running a virtual event, there are some costs involved, such as the website... but more importantly, your $25 registration goes towards your fundraising tally, and therefore also partially goes towards providing the support and prevention services, as well as transport2treatment, that Cancer Council Tasmania proudly continues to deliver.

We hope so! We intend on returning back to a physical event in 2021 if physical distancing restrictions are lifted.

You sure can earn one! Just be one of the first 200 people to raise a minimum of $200 and you will earn a Women’s 5km Walk/Run t-shirt to wear proudly!
