The inaugural Rotary Australian Walking Festival will be held in Canberra, ACT, March 26-28 in celebration of #Rotary100DownUnder.
There has been an international walking festival held in Canberra since 1991, but in 2021 this annual event will become the Rotary Australian Walking Festival.
The festival is a non-competitive weekend of fellowship activities, with great food, entertainment and walks for people of all ages and abilities. There will be short walks for the young and elderly around the parks and gardens of the city, and longer, more challenging walks through the hillier areas of the Bush Capital, where participants will be treated to spectacular views over the city and surrounding areas.
As part of the #Rotary100DownUnder celebrations, a special participation medal will be struck to commemorate 30 years of the Canberra walk and 100 years of Rotary in Australia.
The event will be jointly run by Canberra Rotary clubs and all profits will go to Rotary projects.
