The 2025 Geelong Memory Walk & Jog is upon us, with the much-anticipated event taking place this weekend on Sunday 4 May at Eastern Beach Reserve, Geelong.
Starting at 7:30am, we welcome everyone in the Geelong 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.
More than 870 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 https://www.memorywalk.com.au/event/geelong/home.
