Memory Walk & Jog Templestowe just weeks away!

Dementia Australia 2 mins read

The 2025 Templestowe Memory Walk & Jog is just a few short weeks away, with the event taking place on Sunday 11 May at Westerfolds Park, Templestowe.

 

Following overwhelming support from the Templestowe community, we are bringing Memory Walk & Jog to Westerfolds Park, Templestowe in 2025.

 

Memory Walk & Jog Templestowe will help advance the work of Dementia Australia, which delivers invaluable support, education and resources for people living with dementia, their families and carers.  

 

Memory Walk & Jog is about being part of the community and feeling supported. We are in this together, which is why participants can walk, jog or run and select from either 2.5km, 5km or 10km in distance. 

 

Memory Walk & Jog is also a great opportunity for everyone to get active which research shows can help reduce our risk of dementia. Get active and beat dementia. Sign-up to participate in Memory Walk & Jog or volunteer by visiting https://www.memorywalk.com.au/event/templestowe/home.
