What is 100K Your Way?

Every year in April, Vision Australia invites people to participate in a month-long personal challenge to reach 100kms in any way you choose. Run, walk, cycle, roll, swim — it’s your choice. Kilometres are tracked online so you can participate in this event whenever and wherever you want. 

This is a fundraising event in which you can participate as an individual or create/join a team to raise vital funds that will help empower Australians who are blind or have low vision to stay active and independent.

Here are the answers to some of our frequently asked questions. If we haven’t answered your question or you would like to speak to someone for more information, please contact us at fundraising.events@visionaustralia.org 

The Challenge

Where is the 100k Your Way challenge?

100K Your Way is a national wide event that is tracked online, allowing you to participate whenever and wherever you like! Participants can run, roll, swim, walk or move by yourself or with your workplace/friends/family anywhere and anytime during April.

Who can take part in 100k Your Way?

add remove

Anyone can take part! We encourage you to sign up and take part in 100K Your Way with your friends, colleagues, family, school and clubs or sporting teams.

Do I need to walk, run or move every day?

add remove

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 — it’s up to you!

What if I can't do 100KM on my own?

add remove

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.
