The 2026 Cronulla Memory Walk & Jog is fast approaching, with the much-anticipated event taking place this weekend on Sunday 1 March at Don Lucas Reserve.

 

With the big day kicking off at 7:30am, we welcome everyone in the Cronulla community to join their 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 MC Tully Smyth for a wonderful fun, family friendly day out. 

 

More than 670 people have already signed-up to take part – but there’s always room for more with online registrations still open – or you can sign-up on the day at the event.
