About the race
Over 25,000 people in NSW have Parkinson’s. There are 72 Support Groups in NSW. There is no cure. But exercise helps!
Come help celebrate the 10th annual Unity Walk & Run that is suitable for all ages and abilities. Take part in either the 8km or 4km timed runs or our 4km Unity Walk while enjoying the free entertainment, great food and amazing giveaways for Parkinson’s NSW.
For every dollar raised 50% will go towards research and the other 50% will fund support services for people living with Parkinson’s, their families and carers.
Alternatively, in Wollongong you’ll have the opportunity to partake in the 3km fun run or the 2km Unity Walk set upon the breathtaking views of North Wollongong Beach.
Come as an individual or get a team together and join in the fun while helping those affected by Parkinson’s. Individuals who raise over $50 will receive a free event T- shirt.
