Memory Walk & Jog: Perth

Memory Walk & Jog: Perth is a community walk, jog, or run held in late March for Dementia Australia. Walkers, runners, volunteers, families, and teams are welcome. This Perth event is part of a 14-event national Memory Walk & Jog series held across Australia. Registration can be done in advance or on the day. The event accommodates a wide range of participants, not just racers; some attend to move at a relaxed pace, while others jog or run to raise funds and awareness for dementia support, education, services, and research. The Perth event does not specify a course or distance. Its core focus is its cause and the community it gathers. Participants can register individually or as a team, often walking or running in memory of someone affected by dementia or in support of someone currently living with it. Dementia Australia highlights the event in relation to the 446,500 Australians living with dementia and the 1.7 million family members, friends, and carers who provide support. Individuals unable to attend the Perth event can still participate via a MyWay walk or jog, selecting their own date and location.
