100K Your Way is a national wide event that is tracked online, allowing you to participate whenever and wherever you like! 

Meet our Active Partners in 2026

This year 100K Your Way has partnered with gyms and fitness centres across the country for a special free event to launch your challenge. There are also rewards and memberships up for grabs! Find participating centres over at our community hub. 

Everyone is welcome to join 100K Your Way! As a fully accessible and inclusive event, you can choose your activity type and intensity, helping you achieve your 100km goal. Teams have the option of hitting 100km per team member or sharing the load by hitting the goal collectively to support a more accessible challenge.

No, the challenge is to reach 100 kilometres over the month of April! You can reach 100K any way you like, anywhere you please. You can do a daily run of 3.3K, or 5 long walks of 20K. Cycle to and from work, take hikes, rollerblade, play tennis. Your challenge, your choice!

We encourage people to try and hit that 100km challenge on their own but if that seems too steep or you have young kids that want to be involved, you can track your family or a partner’s kilometres to reach your goal together. The most important thing is to have fun, stay active and raise much-needed funds for Vision Australia. 

Yes! We have some fantastic rewards and prize draws for registering, creating a team, and hitting fundraising goals throughout the month of April. Check out the rewards page to see what’s in store this year.

Donate a day off! On every personal fundraising page there is the option to ‘Kick in 5km’. By making or receiving a donation of $155, an extra 5km will be added to the recipient tally. This gives them nice break while still achieving the goal of raising much-needed funds for Vision Australia.

100K Your Way is free to join at any time!All you need to do is register and start fundraising.

Click here to register and follow the prompts to get started!

If you're new to 100K Your Way, you will need to create a new account. If you’ve fundraised with us before, simply sign in to activate your 100K Your Way profile to join the newest challenge. 

Yes, as this is an annual event we require all repeat participants to sign up each year they wish to join. Please remember to use the same email address or sign in to your account so that we can enter you into our reward draw, exclusive to returning participants!

The challenge is to reach 100 kilometres by the end of April at your own pace, so registrations will stay open throughout the month. The earlier you sign up, the more time you have to fundraise and complete your challenge.

If you need a last-minute boost to get across the line for your fundraising or kms, recruit some extra friends to get to the finish line together!

When registering, you’ll be given the option to create a team and invite members. If you’ve already completed registration and want to create a team later, you can do so from your dashboard. Login to 100K Your Way and select ‘Create a Team’ to get started. The person that creates the team is assigned the role of Team Captain and will have access to team management such as updating the name and fundraising goals.

You may be invited to join a team by being sent a link. This link will take you through the registration process to create your personal fundraising page and become a team member. 

If you are already registered as an individual, you can also search for a team and select “Join”.

The Team Captain will have the option to allow anyone to join your team, or you can set your team to private so only those you invite can join.  

To edit your team settings:

1. Simply log in to your fundraising page dashboard
2. Click on ‘My Team’
3. Click on ‘Edit Team Page’ and set ‘Allow anyone to join my team’ to YES or NO, depending on your preferences

There’s no limit to how many people can be in a team. Join as a couple or an entire company, the more the merrier! The only limit is within team rewards. For every milestone reward unlocked, you will receive a maximum of eight (8) items until you reach the total number of team members. For example, if a team of 10 members raises $500 in team fundraising, the team captain will be sent 8 x 100K Your Way drink bottles. If the team raises a further $500, they will receive an additional 2 x drink bottles, ensuring everyone is kitted out.
