SLEAP WALK 2026
25KM CHALLENGE
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sleap Walk 25km Challenge?
The Sleap Walk 25km Challenge is your chance to take on 25km throughout November, in a way that works for you.
Walk, run, ride or swim - you can complete the 25km wherever and whenever you choose, while rallying your friends, family, workplace or community to support your fundraising journey.
What is the difference between the Sleap Walk Commuity Launch and the Sleap Walk 25km Challenge?
The Sleap Walk 25km Challenge is for those looking to take their fundraising and personal challenge a step further. Participants can complete 25km their own way, wherever and whenever they choose during the challenge period of November, while raising vital funds to support local families needing to access PICU.
The Sleap Walk Community Launch Walk is the 2.5km community walk that brings everyone together to kick off Sleap Walk 2026. It’s a shorter, inclusive, family-friendly walk designed to be enjoyed together and with a fun atmosphere. Fundraising is also encouraged.
Who can participate?
Anyone can take on the Sleap Walk 25km Challenge! Whether you’re a regular walker or runner, want to try something new, or simply want to move for a reason, the challenge is designed to be flexible and achievable.
You can complete your 25km by walking, running, riding or swimming, however, wherever and whenever works for you throughout November.
Take it on solo, with friends, family, your workplace or community - there’s no right way to Sleap Walk.
How much does it cost to register for the 25km Challenge?
Registration for the Sleap Walk 25km Challenge is free.
Simply register, set up your fundraising page and start your 25km journey. There’s no registration fee, instead participants are encouraged to rally their friends, family, workplace or community to help raise funds for the PICU Courtyard.
Where can I complete my 25km?
Anywhere that works for you! Hit the local streets, explore a favourite walking track, head to the gym or even complete your kilometres on a treadmill, bike or in the pool. Just make sure your chosen activity and location are safe and suitable for you.
How do I complete my 25km?
Choose how, where and when to complete your kilometres throughout November.
There’s no need to complete the challenge in one go, break the 25km into smaller distances that fit your schedule and lifestyle.
Take on the challenge solo or rally your friends, family, workplace or community to join you.
Can I join after the challenge has started?
Absolutely! Registration remains open throughout the challenge, so there’s still plenty of time to get involved. Simply register, set up your fundraising page and start working towards your 25km.
Do I need to fundraise?
Yes! Fundraising is an important part of the Sleap Walk 25km Challenge. Your 25km helps raise vital funds to support individuals and families accessing the PICU Courtyard for years to come.
There’s no registration fee, so your fundraising is a meaningful way to turn every kilometre into real impact. Every donation, big or small, helps make a difference.
How much do I need to raise?
For individuals we've started you off with a starting goal of $500 and for teams $3,000. Both of these goals can be adjusted by you. There is no plenlty or fee if you do not reach your fundraising goal.
Every donation, big or small, helps support individuals and families. Set a fundraising goal that feels achievable, then see how far your community can help you go.
How do I create or join a team?
The Funraisin platform makes it easy to create or join a team. We’ve created some guides to help get you started.
More guides are available once you are logged into your account.
What happens if I don’t complete all 25km?
The challenge is about moving for a reason, so there’s no pressure to be the fastest or fittest. Every kilometre completed and every dollar raised helps make a difference. If 25km proves a little too much, the kilometres you do complete still count towards supporting local families.
Do I need to fundraise for both the Community Lunch Walk and the 25km Challenge?
No. If you’re taking part in both, you only need to fundraise through one campaign. In fact, it’s preferred that you choose one fundraising page and direct all your donations there, rather than splitting your fundraising across the two.
You can still enjoy the Community Lunch Walk on 7 November and take on the 25km Challenge throughout the month of November, your fundraising will count towards your overall Sleap Walk impact, no matter which campaign you choose.
Do I need to complete any of my 25km at the Launch Walk?
No. The Community Launch Walk is a separate face-to-face event and there’s no requirement to attend or complete any of your 25km there.
If you’re participating in both, however, kilometres completed at the Launch Walk can be a great way to kick-start your 25km Challenge.
