Dementia Australia 2 mins read

The 2026 Gold Coast Memory Walk & Jog is fast approaching, with the much-anticipated event taking place this weekend on Sunday 7 June at Pratten Park.

 

With the big day kicking off at 7:30, we welcome everyone in the Gold Coast 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 Takaya Honda for a wonderful fun, family friendly day out. 

 

More than 870 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.
