The 2024 Dubbo Memory Walk & Jog is upon us, with the much-anticipated event taking place this weekend on Sunday 11 February at Lions Park.

Starting at 8am, we welcome everyone in the Dubbo community to join fellow participants as they walk, jog or run to help raise money in support of people living with dementia.

 

Registrations for the Dubbo Memory Walk & Jog are still open and we would love to see as many people as possible participate to help raise funds and awareness for such an important cause.

 Walk or jog with us. We are in this together.
