Great Aussie Hike

Could you give us a few hours to help give 1,000 kids & teens a Christmas gift

AND

receive a $100 credit towards our next challenge?

Our Mornington Peninsula event is coming up on Saturday 17 October, and we’re building the wonderful volunteer crew who will help bring the day to life.

There are so many ways to get involved - cheer walkers on as a Course Marshal, join a Wellness Stop team, help at the Start or Finish Line, or choose from a range of other event-day roles.

No experience needed. Just bring your smile, your enthusiasm and a willingness to help. 💚

And there’s a very special reason to join us this year.

Every volunteer who helps make Great Aussie Hike possible is also helping us raise funds to provide 1,000 Christmas gifts for children and teenagers who might otherwise go without.

Loved the adventure? Who is ready to join us this October for our Mornington Peninsula course - think sweeping coastal views, clifftop trails and beautiful bushland tracks.

They were there at every step.

From early morning set up to the final moments on course, our volunteers made this event what it was 💚.

If a smile, a helping hand or a perfectly timed snack kept you going - we’d love you to say thank you.

We’ll collate everything and pass it on to our incredible volunteer team.
