Empowering collaboration across charity sectors by engaging communities through health and wellbeing initiatives to deliver meaningful impact.
We are thrilled to announce a ground-breaking event that promises to unite communities, drive change, and make a profound impact on the lives of many.
Mark your calendars, Thursday 24th October 2024 - STRYDE4 DAY, a day when we come together to raise over $2 million across six charity sectors: Mental Health, Indigenous, Disability, Cancer, Families, and the Environment.
It's a day of purpose, passion, and collective action that you won't want to miss!
Introducing
STRYDE4 Day will be nothing short of a festival of purpose, community & health. Thousands of champion ambassadors from up to 30 charities will embark on a 10km, Bondi to Maroubra or 21km walk from the iconic Bondi Beach to La Perouse. All while experiencing the breath-taking beauty of Sydney's coastline. With whales migrating down the coast, you can expect to witness them playing offshore as you meander past Tamarama, Coogee, and Maroubra beaches.
But this isn't your typical charity walk. STRYDE4, in collaboration with Be Challenged, has planned a series of exciting activations for our incredible charity fundraisers. Think scavenger hunts, obstacle courses, and a team challenge where someone in your team needs to swim in all the ocean pools along the route, including the world famous Bondi Icebergs.
