Dementia Australia 2 mins read

The 2025 Tamworth Memory Walk & Jog is upon us, with the much-anticipated event taking place this weekend on Sunday 9 February at Bicentennial Park, Tamworth. 

 

Starting at 9am, we welcome everyone in the Tamworth and surrounding community to join fellow participants as they walk, jog or run for better brain health and to help raise money in support of people living with dementia, their families and carers.  

 

Join us for a wonderful fun, family friendly day out. 

 

More than 75 people have already signed-up to take part – but there’s always room for more with online registrations still open, or sign-up on the day of the event.   

 

Get active and beat dementia, sign-up to participate in Memory Walk & Jog or volunteer by visiting www.memorywalk.com.au/event/tamworth.
