JOIN THIS EVENT

The Man Walk provides an opportunity for men to get together to walk, talk and support each other in a regular and healthy way. It provides an environment that is positive, supportive and inclusive, where there is no pressure and no barriers to entry.

What began as a small walking group in Kiama in 2018 has become a national phenomena, rapidly expanding from 1 group to around 70 sites across Australia in the past 12 months. The founders of the Man Walk say "we want to make it ok to talk, and we want to make it ok for men to ask for help if they need it.”

The Man Walk is also shortlisted for a National Men’s Health Award in the Best Men’s Group or Program category.
