Dementia Australia 2 mins read

The 2025 Sydney Memory Walk & Jog is upon us, with the much-anticipated event taking place this weekend on Sunday, 25 May at Cathy Freeman Park, Sydney Olympic Park. 

 

Starting at 7:30am, we welcome everyone in the Sydney 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.  

 

Special guests, Charlie Brown and Jess Redmayne will be in attendance.

 

More than 1,340 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.
