WE'RE BACK FOR 2024!

We are back for 2024!

Registrations are now open for the 2024 Great Illawarra Walk.

As part of our commitment to supporting young people, we have partnered with the Illawarra Academy of Sport through their Athlete with a Disability (AWD) program.

We will be raising funds to build a purpose-fit gym for athletes with disabilities. Our goal is to raise $150,000 - we know this is a big number but we are determined to get there!!


Saturday 9 March, 40km from Shellharbour to Austinmer
