Event Details
About This Event
Memory Walk & Jog is Dementia Australia's annual fundraising event bringing communities together to raise awareness and funds for dementia support services. Participants can walk or jog at their own pace, with distances suitable for all fitness levels.
Course Description
The Memory Walk & Jog at Scarborough Beach Park offers three scenic coastal routes along Redcliffe's beautiful beachfront. The 2.5km walk is perfect for families and casual participants, whilst the 5.5km walk/jog provides a moderate challenge with stunning ocean views throughout. The 10km timed run course takes you on a longer journey through the parklands and foreshore, offering flat, accessible paths ideal for personal bests. All routes showcase the natural beauty of Moreton Bay, with the gentle sea breeze and waterfront setting creating an inspiring atmosphere. The courses are primarily on sealed pathways, making them suitable for prams, wheelchairs, and participants of all abilities.
Quick Facts
Getting There
Scarborough Beach Park is located on the Redcliffe Peninsula, approximately 45 minutes north of Brisbane CBD. Take the Bruce Highway to the Redcliffe exit, then follow signs to Scarborough. Parking is available at Scarborough Beach Park and surrounding streets - arrive early as spaces fill quickly for popular events. Public transport users can catch the train to Kippa-Ring Station, then take a connecting bus to Scarborough. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the 7:30 AM start to collect your race pack and warm up.
Weather & What to Pack
June in Redcliffe brings mild winter conditions with average temperatures ranging from 12-21°C. Mornings can be crisp, so dress in layers you can remove as you warm up. The coastal location means potential for sea breezes, which can feel cooler than inland temperatures. Expect generally dry conditions with low humidity, though it's wise to bring a light jacket for after the event. Queensland's winter sunshine is typically pleasant for outdoor activities. Stay hydrated despite the cooler weather, particularly for the longer distances, and apply sunscreen as UV levels remain moderate even in winter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my dog or push a pram?
Yes! The Memory Walk & Jog welcomes furry companions and prams. The flat, sealed pathways at Scarborough Beach Park are ideal for both. Please keep dogs on leads and be considerate of other participants.
Is this a timed event?
The 10km distance is a timed run, whilst the 2.5km and 5.5km options are untimed walk/jog events where you can go at your own pace. The focus is on community participation and raising awareness for dementia support services.
What happens on event day?
Arrive from 7:00 AM to collect your race pack and participant number. All distances start at 7:30 AM from Scarborough Beach Park. There will be course marshals, water stations, and post-event activities including refreshments and entertainment.
Do I need to fundraise?
Whilst fundraising is encouraged to support Dementia Australia's vital services, it's not mandatory to participate. You can register and simply take part in the event, though many participants choose to set up a fundraising page to make a greater impact.
What should I bring on the day?
Wear comfortable walking or running shoes and weather-appropriate clothing in layers. Bring a water bottle, sunscreen, hat, and your phone for photos. Consider bringing a light jacket for before and after, and cash for any on-site vendors or parking.
