What are the Registration fees?
Everyone who registers will be issued with a free yellow Sunshine Walk shirt.
Your registration fee also counts towards your fundraising tally.
For the first time in seven years, we have made the difficult decision to increase our Sunshine Walk Registration Fees. As a charity, every dollar counts, and this small change helps us to continue funding vital cancer support and services that our community relies on.
We are grateful for your understanding and ongoing support – it truly makes a difference.

What is the DIY walk?
The DIY walk allows you to complete any distance of the Sunshine Walk at a location of your choice!
The Sunshine Walk will be held as a hyrbrid event, offering both a virtual walk and in-person options starting and finishing at Hovell Tree Park, Albury. Team Corowa and District are our leaders in running a DIY Walk in Corowa.
Last year, 72 walkers from Corowa and surrounds participated in the Sunshine Walk. Their routes departed from Rowers Park to complete either a 10km or 5km route along the scenic river paths connecting Corowa and Wahgunyah, raising an impressive record of $9,002!
Over the past six years, the Corowa event, held in conjunction with the main walk in Albury, has contributed more than $60,000.
As the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre covers a large regional catchment, many of our outlying communities are organising to walk as individuals and in groups in their own town. We also have some who take part from across Australia and even overseas!
Everyone who registers for the walk receives a FREE Sunshine Walk shirt.
