WE'RE BACK FOR 2022!

We are back for 2022!

Registrations are now open for the 2022 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 12 March, 40km from Shellharbour to Austinmer

WHERE DO WE WALK?

The 2022 Great Illawarra Walk begins at Bean Roasted Espresso Bar Shellharbour (Addison Street) between 6am and 7.30am on Saturday 12 March and finishes at Headlands Hotel Austinmer.

Check out the route section of the website for a full breakdown of the walk route.
