Stepping Up for 6,000 Canberrans: Memory Walk & Jog at Stage 88
In Canberra alone, an estimated 6,000 people are living with dementia - that’s neighbours, family members, workmates and lifelong friends.
On Sunday, 22 March 2026, the Dementia Australia Memory Walk & Jog is coming together at Stage 88, Commonwealth Park to step with purpose for those impacted by this condition.
This isn’t just a morning walk in the park - it’s a way for our community to make a real difference.
Why It Matters Here at Home
By registering and fundraising, you’re helping Dementia Australia deliver essential support services, education programs and pioneering research that moves us closer to a future without dementia.
Every step taken on this day joins that community - of people who care, who show up, and who want change.
“It’s about joining a community of people who all share an understanding of the uniqueness of dementia.”
Something for Every Pace
Whether you’re in it for fitness, for family, or for a friend, there’s a distance for you:
2km walk - take it easy, bring the kids or the dog
5km walk/jog - pick up the pace with mates
10km timed run - challenge yourself
Elite 10km run - aim to finish in under 60 minutes
Simply purchase your ticket, set up your fundraising page, share it with your family and friends - and come along on the day to make an impact.
